Antibiotic Resistance

Take antibiotics as prescribed When you’re feeling unwell antibiotics are not always the answer. Many common illnesses like coughs, sore throats, flu and COVID are caused by viruses. Antibiotics do not work against viruses.

Even when you do have an infection caused by bacteria, your body will often deal with this in a week or so.

It is important we do not overuse antibiotics as this is leading to increased risks of resistance. This means they will no longer work to treat the serious infections we really need them for.
