Take Action
Everyone has a role to play in combating antibiotic resistance.
Here are some easy steps you can take to make a difference:
- Only take antibiotics when you need them. Never demand an antibiotic from your doctor for you or your child.
- When possible, only buy meat and poultry products sold by companies with responsible antibiotic use policies. Look for labels that say organic, raised without antibiotics and no antibiotics ever. Learn more.
