179 Arrested in Global Dark Web Takedown

This is very risky. Some people are allergic and can become allergic to penicillin-based drugs. Also...how do you get the dosing right? How do you know when to quit taking it in order to be responsible not adding to the creation of antibiotic-resistant "super-bugs"?

I'm asking these rhetorically. Of course the answer is make the regulation more accessible. But in the meantime, this solution should not be taken lightly.

I believe there is listing of the dosage in mg of the active ingredient on the bottle, and so they just matched up the dosage with what they had been previously prescribed.

They're aware of the 'super-bug' problem, but when you're the one in pain you're a lot more willing to undertake some risky behavior to make it stop. They only take a single dose, I believe.

With you on the regulation.

I'll advise them of developing allergy, I'm not sure if they're aware, and I was not. Thank you.
