Health official warns on antibiotic overuse

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health warned about the dangers of excessive use of antibiotics, as it can lead to bacterial resistance, rendering them ineffective when needed for treatment. He clarified that these medications are meant to treat bacterial infections and not viral illnesses. Unjustified use, such as taking them without a prescription or stopping them prematurely, increases the risks of resistance, bloodstream poisoning, and death. Antibiotic resistance is a global challenge, and if not addressed based on scientific principles, it threatens to cause higher mortality rates.
