Get Well Soon - Without Antibiotics, UK
We must all play a part in conserving antibiotics to help tackle
infections
The Government will today launch a national campaign to remind
doctors of the problem of antibiotic resistance and make clear to
patients that antibiotics will not get rid of the common cold.
Almost a decade after the original national public education campaign
to discourage over-use of antibiotics, the Government has warned that
resistance is still on the increase and action is necessary to
preserve the efficacy of the drugs that we have.
Chief Medical Officer, Liam Donaldson said:
"Antibiotic resistance is becoming more common and in recent years
fewer new antibiotics have been discovered. Antibiotics treat
bacterial infections but all colds and most coughs and sore throats
are caused by viruses so cannot be cured with antibiotics.
"The more we take antibiotics when they are not necessary, the more
bacteria will become resistant to them. We must all play a part in
conserving antibiotics as a valuable clinical resource. Patients can
take other remedies to help relieve the symptoms of a cough or cold.
Their pharmacist is well placed to give them advice."
Patients sometimes request antibiotics from doctors 'just in case'.
But bacteria adapt and find ways to survive the effects of an
antibiotic, becoming 'antibiotic resistant'. The more we use an
antibiotic, the more likely it is that bacteria will become resistant
to it. This can lead to antibiotics becoming less effective at
fighting infections
If a patient is prescribed antibiotics they should not stop taking
them as soon as the symptoms fade. Antibiotics should be taken as
prescribed and the course should be finished, unless a doctor or
pharmacist advises otherwise. Antibiotic resistance is more likely to
develop if antibiotics are not taken regularly or taken in too low a
dose.
Adverts will appear in national newspapers and magazines. Posters and
leaflets will also be placed in GPs surgeries and pharmacies.
Notes:
1. Copies of the posters and leaflets can be found at

2. Patients are advised to see a doctor if
- a cough lasts more than three weeks,
- shortness of breath or chest pains develop,
- if they already have a chest complaint.
Patients should also see a doctor if you are worried about symptoms.
3. The last national public education campaign was launched by the
Chief Medical Officer in October 1999. This was based on the cartoon
character "Andybiotic".
4. In 2006/7 the NHS spent 175.8million on antibiotics prescribed in
the community. This does not include antibiotics prescribed in
hospitals.
5. On 8th January 2008, DH launched the strategy 'Clean, safe care'
to provide guidance on infection control and cleanliness in the NHS.
Supported by extra funding of £270 million per year by 2010/11, The
funding will allow local organisations to invest up to £45m on
additional specialist staff which could include antimicrobial
pharmacists.
