Why Agin Is Not Used in the USA?

Agin is not commonly used in the USA, likely due to regulatory reasons. The FDA has strict guidelines regarding the combination of antibiotics with other drugs like NSAIDs without a specific prescription, as this can lead to misuse and increase the risk of antibiotic resistance. Moreover, the U.S. market has a wide range of single-active ingredient medications that are preferred for their specific targeting of symptoms, which allows for better dosage control and minimizes the risk of side effects.
