Solution

I would prefer not to use such a medicine. The human body contains many bacteria such as lactobacillus in the intestine that are useful for various functions such as the digestion of milk. Using a medicine that kills all bacteria and fungi will kill even the useful bacteria and fungi and could adversely affect the health of the user of the medicine.
