Antibiotics

What Are Antibiotics?

Antibiotics are medicines that fight bacterial infections. They work by either killing the bacteria or stopping them from multiplying, helping your body’s natural defenses take over. It's important to remember they're designed for bacterial issues—like strep throat or a urinary tract infection—and won't help with viruses like the common cold or flu.

Using Antibiotics Safely

Always take antibiotics exactly as directed by your healthcare provider, and be sure to finish the entire course, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat.
