Antibiotics aren't always the answer. Always seek the advice of a healthcare professional before taking antibiotics.

Misusing and overusing antibiotics puts us all at risk

Taking antibiotics when they are not needed accelerates emergence of antibiotic resistance, one of the biggest threats to global health.
