Did you know antibiotics don’t work for every infection?
Antibiotics are medicines that treat certain bacterial infections and help us get better. But they don’t work against viruses, such as colds and flu.
Taking antibiotics when we don’t need them can make bacteria resistant to treatment. This means antibiotics may not work when we really need them in the future.
So, how can YOU help?
- 💊 Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
- 📋 Always follow the instructions you’re given.
- 🚫 Never share antibiotics with others or use leftover antibiotics.
- ❤️ Remember, antibiotics don’t treat every illness.
Let’s protect our antibiotics today, so they can protect us tomorrow!
