Stop abusing antibiotics!
Stop abusing antibiotics!

Misusing or overusing antibiotics like Augmentin, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol, Flagyl, Ciprotab, can make your body to develop ANTIBACTERIAL RESISTANCE, giving rise to super bugs .

These SUPER BUGS are hard to treat, cause severe disease, or even death!

ANTIBIOTICS ABUSE is when you take antibiotics at the wrong dose, wrong duration, or for the wrong reason.

For EXAMPLE:
- Taking Ampiclox Beecham for only 2 days when it was prescribed for 7 days;
- Using antibiotics to treat a headache that is caused by malaria;
- Excessive use of antibiotics in children with stomach pain;
- Taking Ampiclox to cleanse the body after s*x.
- Popping antibiotics for Cold & Flu infections.

☠️ The most alarming thing is that these antibiotic-resistant super bugs can easily spread from one person to another.

Also, some super bugs can pass their antibiotic resistance to other bugs, leading to a dangerous spread of INCURABLE super bugs:

This has led to a BREED of super bugs entirely resistant to antibiotics.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to GLOBAL HEALTH, food security, and development today.

It can affect anyone, of any age, in any country of the world.

In fact, many infections such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhoea, and typhoid, are becoming harder to treat as the antibiotics used to treat them are becoming less and less effective.

HOW TO STOP ANTIBIOTICS ABUSE AND REDUCE ANTIBIOTICS RESISTANCE :

1. Only use antibiotics when prescribed by a certified health professional.

2. Always follow your health worker’s advice when using antibiotics.

3. Never demand antibiotics if your health worker says you don’t need them.

4. Never share or use leftover antibiotics.

5. Prevent infections by:
- practising safer s*x
- regularly washing your hands
- keeping your vaccinations up to date
- avoiding close contact with sick people, &
- preparing your food under good hygiene conditions.

Kindly Share to pass it On.
