HOW ARE HERBAL ANTIBIOTICS DIFFERENT FROM PHARMACEUTICAL ANTIBIOTICS?
Many pharmaceutical antibiotics are isolated chemical constituents. They are one compound/one chemical – penicillin is penicillin, tetracycline is tetracycline and so on. This makes them easier for bacteria to adapt to and counteract.
