Antibiotics are among the most powerful tools available against bacterial infections, but their long-term effectiveness depends on responsible use guided by qualified healthcare professionals. Self-medication and incomplete courses are among the leading contributors to antibiotic resistance.
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health concern that reduces the effectiveness of treatments for future infections — affecting not just individuals but entire communities and healthcare systems. India’s pharmaceutical sector has a responsibility to support awareness of this issue.
Patients should always complete a prescribed antibiotic course as directed by their physician, even when symptoms improve early. Stopping treatment prematurely allows surviving bacteria to develop resistance.
