Answer 1

are you talking about from the pharmacy? if so wal-mart now has a huge list of different ones that are $4.00 you can go there and get the list from them, only narc are not included.

Answer 2

Different anti-biotics cost different amounts of money,but not enough to limit use.

The use limit should be controlled by doctors, Anti-biotics, should not be used for viruses (colds, Flu, Chicken Pox) and it really should not be used in cleaning products.

Anti biotics kill bacteria, and not all bacteria is bad, some are necessary . For bad infections, anti biotics should be prescribed and the total course of treatment should be followed, eat all the pills, on time, til they are finished.

If you eat only some until you feel better and save the rest, some of the bacteria will not be dead yet and can develope a resistance to that antibiotic. When you spread that germ to the next person, that antibiotic will not help them.

When antibiotics are used inapropriately, more and more bacteria get resistant to it. Some bad bacteria are so reseistant now, only specialized antibiotics will work...if they get resistant to them, there will be trouble
