🦠💊 Antibiotic Resistance: What You Need to Know

Did you know? Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them can make them stop working when you do.

Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria learn to fight off the medicines meant to kill them — making infections harder to treat.

Here’s how you can help protect yourself and others:
✅ Only take antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.
✅ Always finish the full course — don’t stop early, even if you feel better.
✅ Never share or use leftover antibiotics.
✅ Prevent infections: wash your hands, keep vaccinations up to date, and practice good hygiene.

Every dose matters — use antibiotics wisely so they keep working for everyone.
