Antibiotics are not candy.
They are powerful medicines used only to treat bacterial infections. They do not work for viral illnesses like the common cold, flu, or most sore throats.
When antibiotics are misused or overused such as taking them without prescription, not completing the dose, or using them for viral infections, bacteria learn to resist their effects. This leads to AMR, where common infections become harder or sometimes impossible to treat.
WAAW is almost here, letβs continue to raise awareness about Antimicrobial Resistance.
