Monterrey, NL .- After the entry into force of the law prohibiting the sale of antibiotics without prescription Experts say that in Monterrey some bacteria has a high resistance to those between 40 to 70%.
The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led bacteria such as Escherichia coli better known as e coli shows a high immunity to the drugs, said the President of the College of infectious diseases of Nuevo Le?n, Dr. Felix Rositas Noriega.
"Here in Monterrey we have problems with E colli (Escherichia coli) in which our community is already very sensitive due to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, the bacteria and has between 40 and 70% of immunity and therefore the antibiotic has to be very specific. , Plans Escherichia coli can cause intestinal and extra intestinal infections are often severe, such as excretory tract infections, meningitis, peritonitis, to name a few, "said the expert.
In Mexico, antibiotics are among the most consumed drugs, representing the second highest sales of pharmacies nationwide.
Antibiotics account for 40 percent of all adverse effects are related to medications, I personally have seen that about 70 percent of all antibiotics that are taken at the community level are poorly prescribed, even in relation while taking them.
- Secretary of the College of infectious disease of Nuevo Le?n, Dr. C?sar Mart?nez Longoria.
An estimated 60% of the Mexican population has consumed drug in the past year, buying on average and seven of these 30% is an antibiotic according to the COFEPRIS.
Gravity is much longer than that of federal and local authorities up to 40% of adverse reactions in general medicine, is credited to antibiotics in most cases were misdiagnosed, so noted by the secretary of the College of infectious diseases Nuevo Leon, Dr. C?sar Mart?nez Longoria.
Federal authorities have said that the growing resistance of pathogens causing bacterial infections and intra-hospital community has been documented in Mexico, where regional surveillance networks estimate that the national rate of penicillin resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae, bacteria that causes of severe community acquired infections such as pneumonia and meningitis, is about 55%, higher than other Latin American countries like Argentina and Brazil.
Experts say also that the epidemic of influenza A (H1N1), highlighted the seriousness of the consequences of antibiotic autoprescripci?n in our country, because in many cases of influenza were complicated by a late medical diagnosis, caused in most because people wanted a "quick" discomfort.
"At home, the community is accustomed to use antibiotics in a way so natural that people are already taken as part of their personal kit, which has caused the resistance of organisms to certain assets, the most serious problem is that the antibiotics industry has not grown in recent dates so that if we use antibiotics in an irrational manner, it may be that we no longer have to offer, "said Rositas Noriega.
Among the more adverse reactions to antibiotics are the best sellers, such as ampicillin and penicillin, for that reason, experts are urging the community to not see this as negative as it will bring many benefits.
"It's important that people do not see it as a measure that is shut off, it is to control the overuse of these drugs, so the population has to do, it is best to approach your doctor, talk your condition, keep proper control of their disease, now without a prescription, no medicine "he said Mart?nez Longoria.
