antimicrobials(antibiotic)

penicillin, streptomycin

kill growth of bacteria

side effect:headache,dizziness,allergic reaction

prescription:consume it fully to make sure all bacteria are killed, otherwise they become resistant to the antibiotic

analgesics(codeine)

relieve pain, treat cough and diarrhoea

side effect:drowsiness,addiction

antimicrobials(disinfectants)

ethanol, formaldehyde

kill microorganisms on non-living object

analgesics(aspirin)

aka acetylsalicylic acid

relief pain in conscious state,reduce inflammation and blood clotting

side effect:acidic, cause internal bleeding and ulceration, not suitable for childrens and gastric patients
