Antibiotic counseling is a vital healthcare service that ensures patients use antibiotics safely and effectively. This involves educating patients on the proper use of antibiotics, the importance of following prescribed regimens, and the potential dangers of misuse.
Antibiotics are essential for fighting bacterial infections, but improper use can lead to serious issues, including antibiotic resistance. When bacteria become resistant, infections become more difficult to treat, resulting in longer illnesses, more hospital visits, and increased mortality rates. Effective counseling helps prevent these risks by guiding patients on the correct use of antibiotics.
