i get this is c/lemmyshitpost, but there is nothing here that screams shitpost, and this is not how antibiotics work and it's not how they are prescribed.

Life hack: use the one your doctor prescribes.

Antibiotics are prescribed on a case by case basis and aren't only designed for specific infections, I've been prescribed Levofloxacin and Doxycycline before for severe sinus infections.

Amoxicillin is used for way more than the examples shown - UTIs, dental infection, stomach ulcers, even Lyme disease. That's the main one I know.

You’ll note that the common cold, norovirus, and influenza aren’t listed. Don’t ask for antibiotics.

Cipro is brutal. Last time I took it 2 days in I felt like my tendons were disintegrating. I couldn’t even pour myself a cup of coffee without crying.

I was able to take it a couple times before without too much issue, but Jesus it doesn’t play around.

Talk to your doctor before taking ciprofloxacin if you or family have EDS. It can do a number on your tendons

What's Pemicillin? Never heard of that one before. /s
