      Some are: (a) use when it is only necessary (don’t put pressure on GP for its prescription or buy without prescription from any private sources), (b) don’t skip the prescribed dose routine, (c) monitor its usage, any unused antibiotics should be returned to the pharmacy for appropriate disposal, (d) don’t use antibiotic in farming as growth promoting factors (e) be an antibiotic guardian, spread the knowledge to influence others to use antibiotics wisely!

      wisely means the right drug to treat the bug, at the right dose, for the right duration. Never ‘just in case’ or to treat a virus.
