Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios (AEMPS), Nov 3, 2023. "They are specialists. And their job is to protect us. But if we ask them to do things they're not intended to do, they won’t be able to protect us when we need them, and we end up putting the health of people, animals and the environment at risk. Antibiotics: Their job is to protect us. Your job is to use them wisely. Government of Spain."
https://surgeonx.co.uk/ From writer Sara Kenney and artist John Watkiss, published by Image Comics. Set against the backdrop of an antibiotic apocalypse in near future London, Rosa Scott, a brilliant and obsessive surgeon becomes Surgeon X, a vigilante doctor who uses experimental surgery and black market drugs to treat patients. Surgeon X risks everything to save lives, but ultimately ends up warping her medical oath to suit her own decisions.
Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios (AEMPS), Nov 17, 2020. "Things should be used for what they’re meant to be used for, and if not, they may hurt you. Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria; they do NOT cure viruses like the flu or colds, or relieve pain or fever. To make sure they keep working, only use them with a prescription. Both in humans and in animals. Because NO, antibiotics CANNOT be used for everything. Government of Spain."
Applying the principles and practices of the Communication for Health (C4H) approach, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a pilot campaign targeted at university students and youth in Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh. Running for two weeks in December 2023, the campaign, both online and offline, employed humour and behavioural insights and resulted in more than a 30% increase in knowledge around the responsible use of antibiotics.
Singapore’s Health Promotion Board (HPB), Nov 3, 2019. "[Music] I know you're down with the flu, and your work is piling up now. But trust me, I'm not the one. I'm not the one for you. I'm not the one you need to recover faster…. Everytime she goes 'achoo' and you want her to be well, now. But trust me, I'm not the one. [refrain] I know that cough annoys you, and I really want to help you, but I have no clue. [Refrain] [End music] Antibiotics will not help you recover faster from the flu, because they don't work on the flu virus. Check with your doctor on the treatment you need."
Singapore’s Health Promotion Board (HPB), Dec 15, 2022. "Actually, my strep throat doesn't hurt anymore. I'll just take one pill instead of two. Are you a doctor? Well, I feel better now. Misusing antibiotics can cause longer recovery time, and ineffective future treatments due to infections becoming antibiotic resistant. Remember, don't play doctor. Your friend, eh? Whoa, I need to share this."
