A member asked:
Are antibiotics good for you? i heard this rumor if you are on antibiotics and you do exercise you can damage your kidneys?

Complex: Antibiotics when used for an infection are obviously good for you but, even more so than other drugs, are dangerous and potentially have many side effects. Thats why they are by prescription only. The rumor you heard has no validity.
