What will be the Future of Existing Drugs..??

Combining drugs and the future


Drug combinations alter the effectiveness of antibiotics


The efficiency of antibiotics might be altered by combining them with each other, non-antibiotic drugs or else even with food additives. Depending on the bacterial species, a few combinations stop antibiotics from functioning to their complete capacity as others begin to overcome antibiotic resistance.

Succeeding antibiotic resistance

Overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to significant antibiotic resistance. Particular combinations of drugs can assist in preventing multi-drug resistant bacterial infections; however, they may be largely unexplored and infrequently utilized in clinics


Though most of the examined drug combinations reduced the antibiotics’ effect, there were over 500 drug combinations which improved the antibiotic effect. These positive pairings also examined in multi-drug resistant bacteria, they have been found to improve antibiotic effects.
When vanillin - the compound that gives vanilla its exclusive taste - became paired with one specific antibiotic called spectinomycin, it helped the antibiotic to enter bacterial cells and inhibit their growth. Spectinomycin is rarely used these days because of the bacterial resistance that was developed against it.

Pairings this may increase the arsenal of weapons in the war against antibiotic resistance.



However, vanillin lessened the effect of many different kinds of antibiotics. Vanillin works in a similar manner to aspirin to reduce many antibiotic actions - even though its results in human cells have not been examined, they’re most likely different.
According to researchers, combinations of drugs that lower the effect of antibiotics may also be beneficial to human health. Antibiotics can cause collateral damage and side effects because they target healthy bacteria as well. However, the effects of these drug combinations are particularly selective, and often only affect some bacterial species. In the future, we might utilize drug combinations to specifically stop the harmful impacts of antibiotics on healthy bacteria. This will also decrease antibiotic resistance development, as healthy bacteria might not be sited under pressure to develop antibiotic resistance that might afterward be transferred to harmful bacteria.
