Antibiotic Safety – Wednesday, February 25, 2015
Clinical Pharmacist Mike Miller, Pharm.D., with Peninsula Regional Medical Center, was a guest on DelmarvaLife to talk about antibiotic safety. He says, remember, antibiotics treat bacteria, not viruses. Mike says, bottom line, when taking an antibiotic, it’s a good idea to do the following:
-talk to your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects
-let them know about other medications you might be taking
-if you haven’t gotten better in 48 hours, contact your doctor and let him/her know
