Distribution of free antibiotics during this terrible winter, by the super stores to the customer short of money has become a practice. This raises the high concern of the health and medical authorities to look into the matter seriously as the overuse of these free antibiotics may result in drug resistance bugs and many other health concerns.

They buy the drugs at very low prices and give away to their customer as if they are well wishers and want to save the money of their customers.

On the other hand the stores argue this by saying that they are giving these antibiotics to their customers free of cost to help out them in this economic gloom and they do it on doctor’s prescription.
