Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How are drugs used to treat diseases?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students should be able to explain the use of antibiotics and other medicines in treating disease.
  2. Antibiotics, such as penicillin, are medicines that help to cure bacterial disease by killing infective bacteria inside the body.
  3. It is important that specific bacteria should be treated by specific antibiotics.
  4. The use of antibiotics has greatly reduced deaths from infectious bacterial diseases.
  5. However, the emergence of strains resistant to antibiotics is of great concern.
  6. Antibiotics cannot kill viral pathogens.
  7. Painkillers and other medicines are used to treat the symptoms of disease but do not kill pathogens.
  8. It is difficult to develop drugs that kill viruses without also damaging the body?s tissues.

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. How are infective diseases treated?
    Infected diseases can be treated by antibiotics and other medicines such as fungal creams
  2. How are drugs used to cure bacterial diseases?
    Antibiotics, such as penicillin, are medicines that help to cure bacterial disease by killing infective bacteria inside the body.
  3. Why are specific antibiotics prescribed by doctors?
    Doctors prescribe specific antibiotics because specific bacteria must be treated by specific antibiotics
  4. What has the impact of using antibiotics to treat infectious bacterial diseases?
    The use of antibiotics has greatly reduced deaths from infectious bacterial diseases.
  5. Why are doctors advised to not overly prescribe antibiotics?
    Over prescription of antibiotics can lead to strains of bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotics
  6. Why can antibiotics not be used to treat viral infections?
    Antibiotics cannot be used to treat viral infections because they do not kill viral pathogens
  7. Why do people take painkillers and other medicines when suffering from an infectious disease?
    People take painkillers and other medicines to treat the symptoms of disease but do not kill pathogens.
  8. Why are there no drugs to kill viruses? (vaccinations prevent infection)
    There are no drugs to kill viruses that don't also damage the body's tissues.
