What are antibiotics made from? What are the actual ingredients?
In: 5
Depends. For example, penicillin is made by growing penicillium mold, which naturally produces penicillin. Then they might add some preservatives or stabilizers to it to make it shelf stable. But in general medicines contain organic ingredients and inorganic ingredients. Organic ingredients are typically by products from plants, animals, bacteria, etc. And inorganic materials are typically used to make the medicine stay together and easier to store and transport.
