Antibiotics are some of our most precious medicines and we're going to lose them unless we protect them
so spread the word, share this video to your friends and family so they can use antibiotics properly
antibiotic resistance let me first give you a short explanation of what it is and how it happens
imagine the white tablets as the bacteria and the box of amoxicillin is the antibiotic
antibiotic resistance can build up after bacteria have become repeatedly exposed to antibiotics
the bacteria change or adapt so they are no longer affected by the antibiotic
in other words the antibiotic can no longer kill them
so now the resistant bacteria can continue to multiply even in the presence antibiotics
now think of the last time you had an infection it wasn't a big worry
because you know you can get some antibiotics
but the problem is antibiotics don't kill bacteria as well as they used to
and I see it in practice more often than I'd like to
in fact some bacteria are now completely resistant to all of our antibiotics
you know before the 1930s when antibiotics were discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming
bacterial infections that we now see as trivial were often fatal
so how do we protect our antibiotics?
Step 1! Don't demand antibiotics from your doctor
we've all been there when you feel absolutely terrible and you just want something to help
remember antibiotics make very little difference to colds, flus, sore throats and coughs
so ask your pharmacist for some over-the-counter medicines to treat your symptoms
last week I made a video about colds and what I recommend to treat your symptoms
so feel free to check it out
Step 2! Take antibiotics exactly as prescribed with a consistent time between each dose
some antibiotics are better on an empty stomach so they can absorb better into your blood stream
and some are better after food
so pay attention to the additional information on the medicine label from pharmacy
and always read information leaflet for extra instructions
Step 3! Never save antibiotics for the future always complete the course even if you feel better
and definitely, definitely don't share them with anyone else
it's widely accepted that stopping antibiotic treatment early encourages the bacteria
to develop antibiotic resistance
this is probably one of the biggest threats to everyone on earth and the problem will only get worse
unless we make a change just imagine what will happen when antibiotics no longer work
