Antibiotics: Use Them the Right Way!

❌ Don’t use antibiotics for colds, flu, or most sore throats — they don’t treat viruses.
❌ Don’t share antibiotics with family or friends. What works for one person may be harmful to another.
❌ Don’t save antibiotics for later — always take them exactly as prescribed and finish the full course.

Misusing antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat in the future. Let’s protect our health and keep antibiotics working when we truly need them

❌ Don’t use antibiotics for colds, flu, or sore throats. They don’t treat viruses.
❌ Don’t share antibiotics with others.
❌ Don’t save them for later.
