Misuse of Antibiotics puts you at risk.
When used inappropriately, it can result in serious infections, longer recovery time, and loss of effectiveness for future treatments, due to infections becoming antibiotic-resistant. Follow your doctor's advice.
Antibiotics are used to prevent or treat bacterial infections only. They DO NOT work on viral infections such as flu or the common cold.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi) found in people, animals, food and the environment develop resistance and no longer respond to medication designed to kill them.
