Safe Use of Antibiotics in Kenya | Meditest Pharmacy Guide

Antibiotics play a vital role in treating infections, but misuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, a growing global health threat. In Kenya, antibiotics like amoxicillin and doxycycline are widely used, often without prescriptions.

It’s essential to:

Complete your prescribed dose.
Never share antibiotics with others.
Avoid using antibiotics for viral infections.

Educating patients on appropriate use helps fight antimicrobial resistance. More information is available at CDC on Antibiotic Resistance and WHO’s AMR Campaign.

Always talk to your pharmacist before starting or stopping antibiotics. At Meditest, our team provides guidance on how and when to take them properly.
