Antibiotics are usually used to reduce bacterial infections and prevent bacteria from growing. Whenever a person has flu or virus, along with normal medicine, antibiotic medicine is also given. But a recent research has revealed its serious side effects.
In fact, researchers from Seoul National University Hospital, South Korea have said that prolonged consumption of antibiotics can cause a serious brain disease (Parkinson’s disease). Let us tell you how antibiotics can affect your brain.
Researchers from Seoul National University Hospital conducted research on 298379 people aged 40 and above. Those who took antibiotics for 1 year, the study found that those who took antibiotics for more than 121 days had a 29% increased risk of Parkinson’s disease and those who took antibiotics for 121 days or more. In those who used it, the risk of Parkinson’s disease increased by 37 percent.
Experts believe that antibiotics should be used with great caution only on the advice of experts and antibiotics should not be taken for a long time. You can reduce common flu or virus with normal medicine. Consuming antibiotics in excessive amounts can have a negative impact on overall health, especially for elderly people or children. Antibiotics should be given only after consulting experts.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder, which adversely affects our overall health. Common symptoms of this are trembling in hands, stiffness of muscles, problem in maintaining balance.
Actually, this is due to the lack of a chemical called dopamine in the brain, which controls the movement of muscles. Research has also found that using antibiotics can cause changes in the intestinal microbiota.
