Do not share antimicrobials

Never take an antimicrobial prescribed for someone else unless you have consulted a healthcare provider, and never give your medicine to a pet. Each prescription is tailored to a specific infection and individual. Using the wrong treatment can delay your recovery, cause side effects, and promote the development of resistant microbes that are harder to treat.

“This illustration explores how treatment is always tailored to the individual. The two portraits blend into one another, yet their surroundings are very different: one features dry branches, representing misuse and the harm it can bring, while the other showcases flourishing flowers, symbolising the right treatment and the peace and healing it provides. The contrast highlights that what works for one may not work for another. Medicine is a personal matter and should never be shared.”
