Responsible #SelfCare = seeking the right advice & making informed choices about #health

For common #cold symptoms, #pharmacists can guide you to safe treatments & help you avoid unnecessary #antibiotics

Supporting your immune system also helps protect against #infections

Only a #HealthcareProfessional who has examined you can determine if you need #antibiotics.

Never use leftover antibiotics or share them with others.

Know the difference!

Not every infection needs #antibiotics. #Colds, #flu, and #covid are caused by viruses, so antibiotics won’t help, and #misuse fuels #resistance.

If you’re unwell this season, ask your #pharmacist or #doctor which care is right for you.

#Antibiotics are a shared resource; we all play a part in keeping them effective.

On #EAAD, let’s act now: use antibiotics only when prescribed, never self‑medicate or use leftovers, and ask a #HealthcareProfessional if you’re unsure.
