What are antibiotics?

Antibiotics are medicines used to treat bacterial infections. They should only be taken as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Antibiotics do not work against viruses, such as those that cause colds or flu, and they are not suitable for every infection. Do not start, stop, or share antibiotics on your own.

FAQs

What do antibiotics treat?

Antibiotics treat certain bacterial infections. They do not work against viruses, including colds and flu. A qualified healthcare professional can assess your symptoms and advise whether an antibiotic is appropriate.

Do I need a prescription, and how should I take antibiotics?

Use antibiotics only after assessment and as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Follow the prescribed dose and duration and the medicine instructions. Do not change your dose or stop treatment without advice from your clinician.

What if I miss a dose, or have side effects?

If you miss a dose, follow the medicine leaflet or ask a pharmacist what to do. Never take a double dose to make up for one you missed. Side effects vary by medicine; nausea or diarrhoea can occur. Get urgent medical help if you have difficulty breathing or swelling that could indicate a serious allergic reaction.

Can antibiotics interact with other medicines or affect pregnancy?

Before using an antibiotic, tell your clinician or pharmacist about all medicines you take, any allergies, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. They can assess possible interactions and advise you based on your circumstances.

Why shouldn’t I share antibiotics or use leftovers?

An antibiotic prescribed for someone else or left over from a previous treatment may be the wrong medicine or amount for your situation. Using antibiotics when they are not appropriate can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Use only medicine prescribed for you, and ask a healthcare professional how to handle any leftover medicine.
