Completing the entire course of antibiotics, antiviral, or antifungal agents is crucial in preventing the development of antibiotic resistance. Mixing the drug in food or locking it up is not necessary or relevant to the proper use of these medications. Sunlight exposure may be a concern for certain medications, but this is not a universal instruction for all antibiotics, antiviral, or antifungal agents.
