Gentle reminder ‼️
Antibiotic resistance is a serious global health threat, and it's estimated that by 2050, 1.9 million people could die annually due to infections that can no longer be treated effectively with antibiotics.
Please remember:
1. Only take antibiotics when prescribed: Never use antibiotics for viral infections like colds or the flu.
2. Finish your full course: Always complete the entire prescription, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully treated.
3. Never share antibiotics: They are prescribed specifically for you and your condition.
4. Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of infections.
Together, we can help fight antibiotic resistance and keep our medicines effective for future generations. Stay safe and follow your pharmacist's guidance!
According to the most comprehensive study to date, the global death toll from antibiotic resistance is expected to reach 1.9 million people annually by 2050.
