Drug resistance usually recovers when the drug is stopped, but the recovery time may vary depending on the individual’s constitution.
Drug resistance, also known as antimicrobial resistance, is the reaction of microorganisms, tumor cells, and parasites to a drug, resulting in resistance to the drug.
When resistance occurs, the effectiveness of treatment decreases significantly. This is more common with antibiotics, which are more commonly used and have a certain bactericidal effect.
If there is a lack of standardization of the use of drugs and the use of drugs for too long, the bacteria in the body will mutate, so that drug-resistant genes appear, this time using the original antibiotic drugs, bacteria can not be eliminated, the need to change the drug treatment.
Therefore, when the body after the emergence of drug resistance, you need to stop using drugs in a timely manner, replacement of other antibiotic drugs for treatment. Due to the different physical condition of the individual, as well as the condition and the time of use of the drug, the recovery time of drug resistance is also relatively different, so the emergence of drug resistance, you need to go to the hospital to do drug sensitivity tests, and then use very sensitive drugs for treatment.
The recovery time of drug resistance varies from person to person, there is no clear time, some can recover in about half a year after stopping the drug, but some may take about a year.
