Doctors and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are raising alarms about the escalating threat of antibiotic resistance in India due to misuse. Experts emphasize that antibiotics must be taken strictly as prescribed, for the full duration, and only when medically necessary, as overuse is rendering them ineffective against common infections like pneumonia and UTIs. This growing resistance poses a significant public health crisis, potentially leaving future generations without effective treatments for serious bacterial infections. The issue is compounded by India being a major consumer of antibiotics, with many hospital infections now resisting common drugs.
