The National Council of Pharmacists of Tunisia on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, has launched a national campaign to streamline the use of antibiotics under the slogan "antibiotic soft dima curating".
Abdel Rahman bin Suleiman, a member of the National Council of Pharmacists in Tunisia, said that the immunity of bacteria to antibiotics has become dangerous and threatens the life of the citizen, for several reasons, including:
– self-medication without prescription
– Abuse of antibiotics
– Intensive use of prescription or over-the-counter antibiotics
– Failure to comply with the period of treatment specified by the doctor
– Intensive and excessive use of antibiotics in the agricultural field
He explained to Nahed Jendoubi, Mosaic's envoy, that 25,000 deaths have been recorded because of antibiotic resistance in Europe and a global microbial resistance responsible for 700,000 deaths a year.
Infectious diseases will become one of the leading causes of death in the world
"If no effective measure is taken, infectious diseases of bacterial origin could end up around 2050, one of the leading causes of death in the world, with up to 10 million deaths, "he said.
A member of the National Council of Pharmacists said that Tunisia is the second largest consumer of antibiotics in the world after Turkey, according to a US study, after our country developed antibiotic consumption between 2000 and 2015.
It should be noted that 400,000 Tunisian citizens visit pharmacies every day.
