"Here are your tablets and here is a box to piss into for the next week while you're on antibiotics."

I'm not disagreeing with your point as such, but implementing an entirely separate sewage system is probably impossible and the alternative is kinda gross.

As I said in another comment, the real solution is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Dry composting toilets have been around for decades. Its a fancy bucket. Very simple to issue at a pharmacy.

When you break a bone in a leg, you leave the hospital with crutches or a wheelchair.

When you take antibiotics, you should leave the pharmacy with a dry composting toilet for your waste.
