Caring for You This Cold & Flu Season

We know you're feeling unwell, and it's tough.

But when it comes to colds and flu, antibiotics probably won't help. Misusing them can lead to antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat.

We think this is a really important topic to chat about!

Rest, hydrate, and consult your healthcare provider for the best care. Sometimes you can get a secondary bacterial infection so please make sure you get checked if you're worried.

Let's protect your health and the effectiveness of antibiotics together. 💙
