What is another word for Antibiotics?
Pronunciation: [ˌantɪba͡ɪˈɒtɪks] (IPA) 
Antibiotics are a class of drugs that are used to fight bacterial infections. However, there are several synonyms for antibiotics, including antibacterials, antimicrobials, and bacteriostatics. These drugs work by either killing bacteria or preventing their growth and reproduction. Antibacterials are often used interchangeably with antibiotics but may refer to drugs that target specific bacterial species rather than a broad spectrum. Antimicrobials, on the other hand, can refer to drugs that target not only bacteria but also other microorganisms like fungi, viruses, and parasites. Bacteriostatics are drugs that inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, but do not necessarily kill them.
