Abstract
Cesarean sections have become safer thanks to advances in anesthesiology. This has led to better neonatal survival. The rates of cesarean operations have increased. The healthy pregnant women who undergo this operation should not be burdened by unnecessary antibiotics. Various professional organisations have recommended only a single dose of antibiotics prior to the cesarean delivery. However, due to peer pressure or being unaware of the recommendation, a five to seven day course of antibiotics and enzyme preparations are being prescribed. This may result into avoidable side effects, cost, resistance and poor doctor –patient relationship.
