Will Pharmacias in Progresso Nuevo Give Pencillin Shots?

thanks for nothing, guys.

A viral infection and a bacterial infection are completely unrelated. You would be very wise to let a medical professional treat your illnesses rather than self-prescribe.

Who is the link between the pharmaceutical industry and the patient.....

Doctors and Wednesday golf games with pharm reps.

Doctor cant say no? They just dont want the patient to go to a different Dr Probably patient fault.

My brother is a doctor and I'm retired and he's not so whatever.......doctor schmocktor

It's probably the patients fault that there is a opioid crisis and a ton of useless people who trot on out of their car after parking in a handicap spot. I wish they'd stop letting patients write prescriptions for themselves.

Inappropriate Prescribing

Incorrectly prescribed antibiotics also contribute to the promotion of resistant bacteria.5 Studies have shown that treatment indication, choice of agent, or duration of antibiotic therapy is incorrect in 30% to 50% of cases.
Incorrectly prescribed antibiotics have questionable therapeutic benefit and expose patients to potential complications of antibiotic therapy.11 Subinhibitory and subtherapeutic antibiotic concentrations can promote the development of antibiotic resistance by supporting genetic alterations, such as changes in gene expression, HGT, and mutagenesis.8 Changes in antibiotic-induced gene expression can increase virulence, while increased mutagenesis and HGT promote antibiotic resistance and spread.8 Low levels of antibiotics have been shown to contribute to strain diversification in organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa.8 Subinhibitory concentrations of piperacillin and/or tazobactam have also been shown to induce broad proteomic alterations in Bacteroides fragilis.8
Extensive Agricultural Use

In both the developed and developing world, antibiotics are widely used as growth supplements in livestock.5,10,14 An estimated 80% of antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used in animals, primarily to promote growth and to prevent infection.7,12,14 Treating livestock with antimicrobials is said to improve the overall health of the animals, producing larger yields and a higher-quality product.15

The antibiotics used in livestock are ingested by humans when they consume food.1 The transfer of resistant bacteria to humans by farm animals was first noted more than 35 years ago, when high rates of antibiotic resistance were found in the intestinal flora of both farm animals and farmers.14 More recently, molecular detection methods have demonstrated that resistant bacteria in farm animals reach consumers through meat products.14 This occurs through the following sequence of events: 1) antibiotic use in food-producing animals kills or suppresses susceptible bacteria, allowing antibiotic-resistant bacteria to thrive; 2) resistant bacteria are transmitted to humans through the food supply; 3) these bacteria can cause infections in humans that may lead to adverse health consequences.5

The agricultural use of antibiotics also affects the environmental microbiome.5,14 Up to 90% of the antibiotics given to livestock are excreted in urine and stool, then widely dispersed through fertilizer, groundwater, and surface runoff.5,14 In addition, tetracyclines and streptomycin are sprayed on fruit trees to act as pesticides in the western and southern U.S.1 While this application accounts for a much smaller proportion of overall antibiotic use, the resultant geographical spread can be considerable.1 This practice also contributes to the exposure of microorganisms in the environment to growth-inhibiting agents, altering the environmental ecology by increasing the proportion of resistant versus susceptible microorganisms.1

Antibacterial products sold for hygienic or cleaning purposes may also contribute to this problem, since they may limit the development of immunities to environmental antigens in both children and adults.

Perhaps all these colds are making you senile. If you don't like these answers go to the general health section and see if you can toss out some insults there.

OP: I actually am a doctor, so don't use the old "don't know what I'm talking about" on me.
You've been given the correct information here.
It is up to you, however, to believe and/or follow it.

In answer to your question, you can buy azithromycin over the counter in Mexico if that will satisfy you. And I would predict that you could get a "shot" if you persisted. Please explain to me, though, how a single injection of penicillin accomplishes anything, considering that your followup oral drug is not the same.

The nice thing about being retired is that I can now let my body heal itself in seven days instead of pumping it full of drugs to make it better in a week.

Have you had your Pneumonia shot? Flu shot? Shingles shot? Those are important, also.

Op
I was typing and drinking my coffee while you had posted. I hope some of I posted may help you.

catch every cold going around and with side effects

Not speaking for OP but this may mean that it starts out as what seems like a "cold" and before long moves to the throat and then the lungs. The first stages may be viral but after the mucous membranes are inflamed and open a bacterial infection can set in. That's why the cold weather cant cause a common cold but it and other irritants can irritate the mucus membranes which leads to bacterial infection.

Bacterial infection produces yellow/green nasal discharge and coughing mucus at which time for me never clears up until antibiotics are used. If you are blowing your nose and it's clear this is usually common cold and antibiotics are of no use.

At the earliest signs of sinus problems I start taking musonx D, Iprotropium Bromide nasal spray, aspirn and hot towels on my face and head.
I went through 30 years of constantly recurring sinus, throat, chest infections which ended up with green/yellow discharge and trip to dr and a scrip. I went for allergy tests, homeopathic and on and on, spending thousands of dollars when in the end it was second hand smoke causing it.

I have used and some people have good preventive maintenance results with sinus irrigation with products such as Neilmed. Be absolutely sure to follow the directions as far as water quality. OP, always see a doctor but try to learn as much about your condition as you can so you can manage it as best as possible and avoid any prescription drugs. You may have key triggers that start the process.
