Ways to Control the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance

Posted on March 3, 2022 by Louise Savoie

ways-to-control-the-spread-of-antibiotic-resistanceAntibiotics are not ordinary drugs. They are the most important life-saving drugs we have at present.

However, they cannot be used too much or for too long as every time they are used, they build up resistance. We use the term ‘antibiotic resistance’ when bacteria or fungi develop the ability to survive exposure to the antibiotics designed to kill them.

Fortunately, each of us can do something to slow down the spread of antibiotic resistance. As your trusted pharmacy in Northridge, California at Poly-Med Pharmacy, here are the ways you can make sure you are using your antibiotics properly:

  • Use antibiotics only as prescribed by your doctor
    Do not insist on having them when your doctor says you don’t need them. It also helps to avail your pharmacy’s medication therapy management in California to help you better understand your condition and the medications being used.
  • Do not share leftover antibiotics
    It is not an accident you’re given a full course of antibiotics. You have to take all of them as prescribed, even if you feel better, to make sure that the bacteria are killed or prevented from multiplying. Stopping abruptly can cause the surviving bacteria to multiply and the condition to reoccur.
  • Maintain minimum health practices
    Prevention is better than cure. Avoid getting infected by regular handwashing, practicing safer sex, and keeping vaccinations up to date.

It is our responsibility to take our antibiotics as prescribed so be sure to do your part.

For your pharmaceutical needs, visit us today. We can accommodate a drive-thru flu shot for your convenience.
