#AntimicrobialResistance is a year-round challenge.
Keep sharing the message:
→ use #antibiotics only when prescribed
→ never self‑medicate or share leftovers
→ ask a #HealthcareProfessional if you’re unsure
Together, we can #KeepAntibioticsWorking
#EAAD #WAAW #prevention #SelfCare
Use the right treatment for the right condition!
#Antibiotics ≠ #Antivirals ≠ #Antifungals
Each will target ≠ types of #infections, so it’s important not to confuse them
This will prevent your symptoms from getting worse

#EAAD #WAAW #prevention
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
#EAAD #WAAW #prevention
Small steps can make a big difference.
5 simple actions to help reduce infections:
🧼 #Wash your hands regularly
😷 #Cover mouth & nose when you cough/sneeze
🛌 Stay #home if sick
📅 Keep your #vaccination up to date
♻️ #Return unused/expired meds for safe disposal
#EAAD #WAAW #prevention #SelfCare
Only a #HealthcareProfessional who has examined you can determine if you need #antibiotics.
Never use leftover antibiotics or share them with others.
Dispose of unused doses safely → https://ow.ly/5ZlB50XsMw2
More on prudent use → https://ow.ly/l0Wp50XsMw7
#EAAD #WAAW #prevention #SelfCare
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.
#EAAD #WAAW #prevention #SelfCare
#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.
