âšđBring your unused or out of date medications back to the practice to be entered into our raffle to win a goodie bagđâš
Our practice is taking part in the antibiotic amnesty and we are encouraging clients to return any unused or out of date antibiotics to us for safe disposal. #AntibioticAmnesty #onehealth
- What to do if you have leftover or unused antibiotics:
o Return them to your vet practice for safe disposal
o Inappropriate disposal of unused antibiotics could contribute to antimicrobial resistance and pollute the environment through waterways, affecting our wildlife
o Donât ever give your pet, or any pet for which they havenât been prescribed, left-over or out of date antibiotics.
Using antibiotics when not needed could risk side effects, delay an accurate diagnosis for your pet, mean that your pets condition may not be treatable, and contributes to antimicrobial resistance
