Take the Antibiotic Resistance Fighter Pledge

I will not ask for antibiotics for colds and the

flu as they have no eect on viruses

I understand that antibiotics will not help me

recover faster from a viral infection

I will only take antibiotics in the way they

have been prescribed

I understand that it is possible to pass on

antibiotic resistant bacteria to others

I will make a greater eort to prevent the

spread of germs by practising good hygiene

Antibiotics are a precious resource and must be handled with care

Always take the full prescription of antibiotics, even if you feel better

Only take antibiotics if your doctor tells you

Overuse and misuse of antibiotics is making bacteria infections harder to treat

Did you know antibiotics do not kill viruses so won’t help you with a cold or flu

Never share or use le�over antibiotics
