This week is World Antibiotic Microbial Awareness week. We wanted to share some useful on how antibiotics work and why at times they are not needed.
Dr Gemma Brierley is a G.P Partner at the practice and is the medicine management lead. Dr Brierley says” antibiotics do not treat viral infections for example Flu symptoms, covid, coughs and colds. We understand when you are unwell you want relief from your symptoms however taking antibiotics when they are not indicated will not relieve your symptoms but can result in antibiotics not working when you really need them.
