    The misuse and overuse of antibiotics could lead to an antibiotic resistance problem in New Zealand

    The misuse and overuse of antibiotics could lead to an antibiotic resistance problem in New Zealand


    PHARMAC's campaign 'Keep Antibiotics Working' launched this week raises awareness that antibiotics don't actually affect colds and flues.

    PHARMAC Deputy Medical Director Bryan Betty says seven-hundred-thousand people die a year from antimicrobial resistance where antibiotics don't work.

    He says antibiotics are useful in treating serious and bacterial infections but PHARMAC are responsible in ensuring they remain effective.
