Medication Safety
- Using Medications SafelyAntibiotics: What You Need to Know
Antibiotics treat bacterial infections, but they are not effective against viral illnesses like colds or the flu.
Why It Matters
Misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat.
How to Use Antibiotics Responsibly
- Only take antibiotics when prescribed
- Complete the full course of treatment
- Do not share or reuse leftover antibiotics
- Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and no longer respond to treatment.
Impacts include:
- Harder-to-treat infections
- Increased medical costs
- Greater health risks
- Medication Safety AlertsEmergency Birth Control Warning
Be cautious of unapproved emergency contraception products that may be circulating in the U.S. These may be unsafe or ineffective.
Always consult a pharmacist or healthcare provider when selecting emergency contraception.
Emergency Contraception (Morning-After Pill)
Emergency contraception is available at the pharmacy.
