Presentation transcript:

The Truth About Antibiotics From a Medical Perspective Amanda Anderson Clinic Worker

The Basics  Created with changing modern medicine  Useful in killing BACTERIA, not viruses  Prescribed for bacterial infections, not viruses (e.g. flu, colds, coughs, sore throats)  Able to control infectious diseases

Antibiotic Resistance  Bacteria CAN become resistant to these drugs.  Antibiotic resistance occurs when medications are taken unnecessarily.  When an illness persists, additional drugs may be needed to kill the germ.  Since some bacteria refuse to die, super strains can be bred by overuse/misuse of antibiotics.

Proper Use of Antibiotics  Students can take antibiotics prudently by taking all doses of the medications exactly as prescribed.  DO NOT STOP TAKING DRUGS EARLY, EVEN IF YOU FEEL FINE!
