Antibiotic and Antimicrobial Drugs Details

Antibiotic/Antimicrobial Drugs. Mobile Phone 01797522136, 01987073965. The drugs that are used for microbial infective diseases are Antimicrobial Drugs.

These drugs are Antibacterial, Anti Fungal, Anti Protozoal and Anti Viral. Antibiotic is a common word here. This word has been used widely.
