The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Friday released an advisory urging people to avoid taking antibiotics like Azithromycin and Amoxiclav. The advisory signed by Dr Sharad Kumar Agarwal, National President, IMA, and other members has said that taking antibiotics when there is no requirement of it, leads to antibiotic resistance.
"Whenever there will be a real use of antibiotics, they will not work due to resistance," the doctors' body has said.
