About Antimicrobial Stewardship
Antimicrobial stewardship ensures antibiotics are used only when needed, in the right drug, dose and duration. Antibiotic resistance is a major threat in India, driven by overuse and self-medication.
Do not take antibiotics for colds and most coughs, do not stop a prescribed course early without advice, and never use leftover antibiotics.
