Understanding Antibiotics: Why Course Completion Matters

Antibiotics should be used only when prescribed and in the exact way advised. Incomplete courses and self-reuse increase treatment failure risk.

Never share antibiotics, never keep leftovers for self-treatment, and never restart old prescriptions without fresh review.

If side effects occur, consult your pharmacist or clinician before changing therapy yourself.

Urgent warning signs include severe rash, breathing trouble, persistent vomiting, or worsening infection signs.

Key takeaways:
- Use only prescribed antibiotics
- Follow timing and completion advice
- Report serious side effects quickly
