Are you currently taking antibiotics?

Did you know that improper use can increase the risk of resistance which may reduce the effectiveness of your antibiotic for future use.

Pop into the pharmacy today to learn more about how you can minimise antibiotic resistance. Our lovely staff are here to answer your questions :)

How does antibiotic resistance affect you?

Using antibiotics when you don’t need them may mean that they won’t work for you when you do need them in the future.

If you have an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection:

1. You will have the infection for longer
2. You may be more likely to have complications of the infection
3. You could remain infectious for longer, and pass your infection to other people, which increases the problem

Antibiotic resistance is when bacteria are no longer sensitive to an antibiotic. Read about how antibiotic resistance is caused & what you can do to help prevent it

Probiotics are good bacteria that our body needs to function.

When we start a course of antibiotics the good bacteria in our body are killed off.

Using probiotics can help replenish these bacteria and relieve common side effects associated with antibiotic use including diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and thrush.

The development of antibiotics was one of the most important advances of medicine. Now, because of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, bacterial infections that were once easily cured with antibiotics are becoming harder to treat. This is because bacteria have developed antibiotic resistance.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently labelled antibiotic resistance as one of the greatest threats to public health today.

Take the pledge to fight antibiotic resistance NOW!

Did you know that dehydration, although simple to cure, can be extremely dangerous if left untreated particularly in the elderly and young children?

We can become dehydrated from many things including vomiting and diarrhoea as well as from some medications and other medical conditions. Hot weather can also exacerbate the problem!

Here at Think Pharmacy Chermside we've got plenty of oral rehydration for you to try, some of which come as flavoured ice blocks!

Pop into the pharmacy today to try some for yourself :)
