Friendly Fire On Your Gut Allies
Your intestines are basically hosting a bacterial party that's producing vitamin K for you—until antibiotics crash the scene! 💊 Those meds don't discriminate between the bad bacteria causing your infection and your gut's helpful little vitamin factories. Poor gut microbiome looking shocked like Mike Wazowski when you wipe out their entire community! Fun fact: vitamin K is crucial for blood clotting, so your body is secretly thinking "thanks for curing the infection, but how am I supposed to stop bleeding now?!" Next time you're on antibiotics, maybe send your gut bacteria a little apology card. They didn't deserve this drive-by pharmaceutical attack!

The meme cleverly captures that bizarre medical contradiction where the very thing meant to help can temporarily make things worse—including the notorious sexual side effects tagged on at the end. Pharmaceutical companies be like "We fixed your depression, but at what cost?"
