Abstract

There is no inherent evil associated with the use of antibacterial combinations. However, in many situations the drugs are so completely misused as to either delude the client or enhance the risk of serious toxicity problems. Adding another drug to a combination does not reduce the need for sound clinical judgment in therapy. There are many disease situations in which the use of more than one antibacterial may be justified.
