“In a number of countries there are no well-trained pharmacists and doctors. But Russia is a developed country. And it is important that there is legislation according to which the use of antibiotics is possible only if there is a prescription. And that it was carried out ", - quotes RIA Novosti Sprenger.
According to him, “in some states, even with such legislation, you can go to the pharmacy and always get the medicine,” while he stressed that “this should not be so.”
“In very poor countries where there is no tap water, clean water, sometimes women who have to give birth, are given antibiotics. Because there is dirt and nothing. But in well-developed countries such as Russia, you should not give antibiotics as prophylaxis, ”noted Sprenger.
In turn, the head of the antimicrobial resistance program in the WHO European Region, Danilo Lo Fo Wong, said that taking antibiotics in small doses for a long time - "this is a very bad idea."
“Small doses will kill only normal bacteria, but not those that are slightly resistant or more resistant. And bacteria will begin to evolve towards the strongest survivors, ”he added.
In March, the newspaper "Izvestia" reported that in Russia create a GOST, which completely ban antibiotics in raw materials and finished dairy products.
