Misuse of antibiotics puts us all at risk.
ANTIBIOTICS DO NOT TREAT VIRAL INFECTIONS, LIKE COLDS AND FLU.
Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them speeds up antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-resistant infections are more complex and harder to treat. They can affect anyone, of any age, in any country.
Think twice. Seek advice.
Antibiotics aren’t always the answer. Always seek the advice of a healthcare professional before taking antibiotics.
Our time with antibiotics is running out.
Antibiotics may lose their effectiveness due to misuse and overuse. Often, they aren’t even needed.

Antibiotics are precious. So, it’s vital to get the right advice before taking them. It will ensure you and your family get the best care. It will also help reduce the threat of antibiotic resistance.
