“The development of resistance to antibiotics is primarily due to their unjustified prescription and improper use. Doctors often prescribe antibiotics without sufficient reason as a “reinsurance", and the ability to freely purchase drugs without a prescription allows the patients themselves to use them at the slightest ailment, ”the message says.

It is noted that antibiotics can only be taken as prescribed by a doctor.

The patient should not require the appointment of antibiotics, and purchase them yourself, if the doctor does not see this if necessary.

It is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's recommendations when using antibiotics.

And also never give your antibiotics to others.

Earlier, Russian Minister of Health Veronika Skvortsova said that Moscow and Minsk had prepared a joint scientific and practical project in the field of antimicrobial resistance.
