Antibiotics save millions of lives each year.
But their effectiveness is under threat.
Misuse and overuse of antibiotics allow bacteria to adapt and develop resistance, making infections harder to treat and routine treatments riskier.
Together we can help keep antibiotics working.
Remember:
⚠️ Antibiotics don't work on viruses, like colds and flu
🚫 Never save leftover treatment for later
📋 Always follow the instructions from your GP, pharmacist or nurse
