What is abx?

ABX stands for antibiotic. Antibiotics are medications that are used to treat bacterial infections by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria. They are typically prescribed by a healthcare provider and should be taken as directed to ensure they are effective in treating the infection. It is important to finish the entire course of antibiotics, even if symptoms improve before the medication is completed, to prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant to the antibiotics. Some common types of antibiotics include penicillin, tetracycline, and fluoroquinolones. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider about any allergies or sensitivities to antibiotics before taking them.
