Analysis on the Impact of Antibiotic Abuse on Public Health and Its Pharmaceutical Intervention Measures

Abstract

This paper examines the severity and multi-dimensional impact of antibiotic abuse in global public health problems and analyzes effective pharmaceutical interventions for it. The discovery of antibiotics has greatly enhanced human ability to treat bacterial infections, but due to improper use, the number of drug-resistant strains has risen sharply, posing a serious health threat to people. Research shows that antibiotic abuse is mainly caused by improper prescriptions, patients' unauthorized use of drugs, excessive use in agriculture and animal husbandry, and inadequate supervision by medical institutions. This abuse has not only led to the rapid development of drug resistance, but also caused a series of problems such as adverse drug reactions, microecological imbalance, rising medical costs and environmental pollution. This paper presents multi-level pharmaceutical intervention strategies for these challenges: Build a complete antibiotic management system and implement a "graded management, professional review" model, enhance the consultation, guidance and supervision role of pharmacists in rational drug use and promote the participation of clinical pharmacists in consultation, establish an electronic monitoring system for antibiotic use and strengthen education for medical staff and the public, improve the norms for agricultural and livestock drug use and promote the research and development of new antibiotics. Through literature analysis and case studies, this paper demonstrates that systematic pharmaceutical intervention is of great significance for controlling antibiotic abuse, reducing the level of drug resistance development, and safeguarding public health, thereby providing theoretical basis and practical experience for establishing a long-term mechanism for the rational use of antibiotics.
