If people willingly take them inspite of warning they are bound to suffer and only themselves to be blamed. Awareness can be created but misuse is a personal decision.

I believe misuse of anything whether it is good for the human body also but if it is used in excessive way then it can take anyone's life in a second.

In our country many people take antibiotics without any prescription, specially in villages and small towns. In village and distant areas, where hospitals are far away, usually people take antibiotics for small diseases, what they think previously doctor has prescribed him this medicine for similar disease and they take medicine without consulting any doctor. If their disease is cured then its OK, if conditions become more complicated then only they go to doctor. So there is a need to make people aware of taking antibiotics.

Taking antibiotics in limit will not harm your health..If one takes in excess,your health will be spoiled .And Doctor's consultation is a must.

People also take self prescribed antibiotics and other medicine because they don't want to go to doctors for every small reasons. They don't think much about the future effects

Exactly.I know such people. They think by  consuming self prescribed medicines and avoiding going to the Doctor, they are saving money. But it is nothing but self immolation.

I think one should use home made treatments instead of taking antibiotics for small diseases. There are many items present in our kitchen which can used as medicine, as and when required.

Yes.There are several useful items such as Cinnamon, Dhaniya  in every house.. They can be used for treating several-small  ailments without going to a Medical practitioner.

And these items will not cause any side effects. Today there is need to focus more on ayurvedic medicines because these have no or less side effects as compared to English medicines.

Ayurveda and Yoga are good for Health without any side effects. They keep your Body Mind and Soul together  and makes you lead an ailment free life.  

Antibiotics come as life savers many a times. But taking it for every small reasons might not be a wise thing in long run as it effects your internal systems especially liver. Getting a drug without an authorized prescription is the major cause of the abuse. Moreover many doctors leave their professional ethics behind and recommend antibiotics for small reasons. Too much of it hampers our immunity and even over a period of time, body becomes resistant to it.

Home treatments are good and with no side effects. One should rely on them for building immunity against disease on a regular basis. Yoga and exercises also help to stay away from illness.

However, depending on the severity of the sickness, sometimes antibiotics are unavoidable.

So it is all about smart, conscious and thoughtful decision

I do agree with you. I have been Practicing since along time. Till now  am free from  BP  or Diabetes .Never visited a Hospital.

Here is a good link for studying about Yoga in detail

Though English medicines have quick action and in many cases can be used as life saver, but we should also not forget the benefits of Ayurveda and Yoga. Allopathy medicines should only be given in critical cases, in other cases doctors should prescribe Ayurvedic medicines. Combination of Ayurveda and Allopathy can bring more better result.

I don't how doctor approved to give such an antibiotics without warning the patient about its side effects.

Dr. Naresh Trehan is one of best cardiologist surgeon of India. One he said that all antibiotics which we using is poison. For quick and less expensive treatment,  we must be add Ayurveda with modern medicines. Ayurveda is natural.

I agree.Ayurveda is harmless without side effects

If Ayurveda medicines are taken in excess they are also harmful as they contain many a times metal powders like lead , arsenic etc. So do not spread the opinion that desi medicines are not harmful if taken in excess.

Ayurveda,the Hindu system of medicine will be harmless, if taken moderately. Of course, If taken in excess any thing and every thing is Harmful.
