They currently come with the added price of needing a prescription. Doctors usually charge for this service. I'm not sure that a tax is going to do much to dissuade people.

A large amount of anti-biotics are used livestock. Also I think I'd anti-biotics cost an extra $100 if the doctor is giving you a just in case anti-biotics then I think some people would think twice.

Don't worry, many wouldn't think twice. They simply can't afford $100 USD meds.
