Antibiotic Overuse

Program Description:

This audio program features current news and information from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

Antibiotics are being overprescribed in the U.S. and as a result, we’re seeing an increase in antibiotic-resistant infections, especially strep infections, and that’s creating a major public health problem.

  • At the first sign of an illness, do you ask your doctor for an antibiotic? You wouldn’t be alone if you did.
