Abstract

Antibiotics are medicaments which prevent the development
of pathogenic bacteria or other micro-organisms in the human’s
organism, without damaging the organism itself.
Introducing of the antibiotics into the medical practice is the
most important achievement of the pharmacotherapy in the
20th century. This is the only group of medicaments whose
usage extends the life of the people and provides treatment
of some of the fatal diseases. Until today there are hundreds of
newly discovered antimicrobial agents in the market. Most of the
antibiotics are proscribed to ambulatory treated patients.
Despite the huge importance of antimicrobial medicaments to
all areas of medicine, it is undeniable that they are used much
more frequently than is justified. All these medicaments show
adverse reactions that may expose patients to unnecessary risk.
Unjustifiable use of drugs has a significant negative economic
impact on the community as well.
The selection of actual antibiotic in the dental medicine is
discussed in terms of the recommendations of Evidencebased
Medicine, BNF 60, WHO Model Formulary, Martindale,
Pharmacotherapeutic manuals and the list of drugs covered by
the Health Insurance Fund, with a review of drugs registered in
the Republic of Macedonia and their reference and sales prices.
Rational approach to the use of antimicrobial therapy is
extremely important, and therefore the prescription of
such medicaments requires a good knowledge of their
pharmacological, toxicological and other features, as well as the
price, which all together can contribute to the advancement of
the pharmacotherapy.
