Abstract:
Antibiotics have historically transformed the medical sciences, but the rise of multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria puts their utility in peril. This survey's goal was to learn how aware people were of inappropriate antibiotic use. In the Savar area, an investigation that was made utilizing questionaries’ was being distributed one-on-one. According to the survey, just 34% of respondents were aware of the purpose of antibiotics, while 66% were unaware of the true function of antibiotics. 13% of respondents reported knowing about antibiotic resistance, but 87% of respondents said they were unaware of it. 53% of respondents said they hadn't finished their antibiotic dose. After the symptoms were relieved, they didn't finish the remaining antibiotic dose. 47% of respondents said they had finished their antibiotic dose. 79% of respondents said they could readily buy antibiotics without a prescription. very few people respond According to 21% of respondents, they haven't been purchasing drugs without antibiotics. 88% of responders said they were unaware of the negative effects of antibiotic resistance. The general public still uses antibiotics because they are unaware of the risks posed by antibiotic resistance. 78% of respondents said they were unaware about the wise use of antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is progressively rising as a result of inadequate knowledge regarding sensible medication use. Different individuals have used various antibiotics. 35% of respondents said they had taken azithromycin regularly, per the investigation.
