Did you know? 💊Antibiotics don’t cure colds or flu!

Colds and flu are caused by viruses, not bacteria which means antibiotics won’t help you get better faster. Rest, fluids, and self-care are the best remedies.

Did you know? 💊Antibiotics aren’t safe to take unless they’ve been prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them or using someone else’s prescription can do more harm than good. It can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat in the future. 🦠
