Question

Provide general strateguies to delay the occurance of resistance againts sulfa drugs.??

Answer 1

The natural phenomenon of resistance to a particular drug is inevitable. However, the process of being a drug unusable can be delayed by following simple strategies yet more effective. Firstly, the drugs are not to be used unless it is absolutely important. Secondly, the pharmacies should be allowed to sell drugs only based on a physicians prescription. Drugs overdose should be avoided and can be controlled by regular visits to concerned physician. It has been proven that antibiotics including sulpha durgs are largely used in Animal Husbandry and agriculture. These needs to be controlled since this will ultimately lead to antibiotic resistance in humans through biological food chain.
