DAY 5️⃣
🚨 Myth Busted! 🚨
"Only antibacterials face resistance?"
Think again! 🌐✨Antimicrobial resistance goes beyond just bacteria. 🦠💔
Resistance against antimalarials is on the rise, impacting widely used drugs like chloroquine against Plasmodium falciparum.
Although combination therapies like ACTs (coartem, lonart, etc) are effective, using the full course of these medicines would help preserve their effectiveness.

What is that thing you heard about antimicrobials❓❓🤔
MYTH NO. 1️⃣
Using Leftover antimicrobials is harmless.
