Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat that occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the effects of medications, making infections harder to treat. This resistance leads to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality. Factors contributing to AMR include the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals, and poor infection control practices. As the world grapples with this challenge, it's crucial to raise awareness, promote appropriate use of antibiotics, and support innovative research to develop new treatments and diagnostic tools. Join Aunty Pharmacist as she delves into this critical issue and explore solutions to combat AMR.

Many people experience Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) after taking their medications but instead of reporting them, abandon the medications, leading to prolonged illness when in fact, reporting ADRs would have helped the healthcare providers and manufacturers as well as other patients. Also, reporting ADRs could help patients get alternatives to their medications or the support they need in that situation.

This episode enlightens about ADRs and the various channels for reporting them.
