i get this is c/lemmyshitpost, but there is nothing here that screams shitpost, and this is not how antibiotics work and it’s not how they are prescribed.
And one of these is an antifungal, not an antibiotic.
never a good look when the shitpost sub upvotes “informative” slop
Life hack: use the one your doctor prescribes.
Life hack: use more than one, at the same time, arbitrarily, whenever you feel like it, unprescribed
.
please don’t actually do that
Stop when you feel better
Whatever you have, treat it with horse dewormer and yelling at vulnerable population groups
Trans people want to steal your dewormer!!! They want all the appley goodness to themselves!
Unless you’re allergic, in which case remind them.
I’ve been prescribed meds I’m allergic to way too often.
Really? Seems I can’t step a millimetre in a doctor’s office without them asking if I’m allergic to anything (turns out that being allergic to stupidity isn’t an issue when it comes to medical treatment).
And I can’t get surgery without having to stop them from prescribing me something I already told them I’m allergic to
Seems I can’t step a millimetre in a doctor’s office
Correct. That would likely require extreme if not downright superhuman motor control, concentration, and patience.
I got meds that I previously explicitly said I am allergic too twice. I have food allergies and good meds with this food stuff in them 8 times now in the last 10 years
Antibiotics are prescribed on a case by case basis and aren’t only designed for specific infections, I’ve been prescribed Levofloxacin and Doxycycline before for severe sinus infections.
Amoxicillin is used for way more than the examples shown - UTIs, dental infection, stomach ulcers, even Lyme disease. That’s the main one I know.
It says “broad spectrum”; while listing a few examples… what’d you want it to list every single thing it covers? ‘Broad’ means wide variety.
Amoxicillin is up there twice. Once for “broad spectrum”. The other seems to only be for ear, nose and sinus infections.
The graphic is shit and misleading.

Cipro is brutal. Last time I took it 2 days in I felt like my tendons were disintegrating. I couldn’t even pour myself a cup of coffee without crying.
I was able to take it a couple times before without too much issue, but Jesus it doesn’t play around.
Talk to your doctor before taking ciprofloxacin if you or family have EDS. It can do a number on your tendons
What’s Pemicillin? Never heard of that one before. /s
