Take the *entire* run of meds. When you stop early, you’re letting the bacteria grow back stronger and it’s not fun for you, the next person to get sick, or the millions of others who now have fewer options of meds to help once it spreads down the line. 🫩

Like, it’s genuinely a global health issue and I need people to understand that. Misusing ABs is the leading cause of the increasing drug-resistant ability of pathogens. It increases the risk of not only your average cold but even life-saving surgeries, too. Once a strain can’t be treated by a specific med, that’s one less safety measure available to everyone.
