Rakib Hasnat bought a drug of the Metronidazole group for his loose motion from a pharmacy in the Dhanmondi area. The brand name of this drug is a household name in Bangladesh. But like many, Rakib is also unaware that it is an antibiotic.
“I take it when I feel any abdominal problem, diarrhoea. I feel better after taking this drug,” he told Dhaka Tribune while buying this medicine from a pharmacy in the Shankar area.
