Take antibiotics as an example. If you don't use antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor, you may not be able to control its adverse reactions, such as fatal allergic reactions caused by penicillin and streptomycin, liver damage caused by erythromycin, tooth and bone development disorder caused by tetracycline, deafness caused by aminoglycosides, nephrotoxicity and so on.

Extended data
Nutrition will affect the body's response to drugs, and vice versa. Nutritional deficiency may affect the absorption and metabolism of drugs. The serious deficiency of heat and protein may lead to the decrease of enzyme level in tissues, thus affecting the efficacy of drugs. Its mechanism is to reduce the absorption of drugs or their combination with protein, which will directly damage the liver function.
These results will indirectly or directly cause obstacles in drug absorption and metabolism. At present, it is known that the deficiency of calcium, magnesium and zinc can affect the metabolism of some drugs, and the deficiency of vitamin C can reduce the activity of some drug metabolic enzymes in the body, especially in the elderly.
