Be Antibiotics Aware logo

 

Be Antibiotics Aware  is a national effort to help fight antibiotic resistance and improve antibiotic prescribing and use.

In U.S. doctors’ offices and emergency departments, at least 47 million antibiotic prescriptions each year are unnecessary, which makes improving antibiotic prescribing and use a national priority.
