Antibiotics: use them only as prescribed
Antibiotics need professional guidance. Do not self-start, share or switch them; ask your prescriber or pharmacist about questions on your treatment.
Do not self-start or share antibiotics
Antibiotics are medicines used for certain infections and need appropriate professional selection. Do not take leftover antibiotics, use another person's medicine, or start an antibiotic based on a search result or an online post.
The World Health Organization identifies inappropriate use and overuse of antibiotics as factors that contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Use antibiotics only when prescribed by a qualified health professional, and ask that professional or a pharmacist if you are unsure about the instructions.
Ask before making a change
If you have a concern about side effects, a missed dose, an unavailable product or whether to continue treatment, contact the prescriber or pharmacist who knows your situation. Do not change a prescribed course based on a pharmacy search result or general information page.
