1/THREAD Ever wonder why fluoroquinolones increase the risk of tendon rupture? It seems so random that a whole class of antibiotics could cause tendon injuries, but the risk is real. #medtwitter #tweetorial

Many antibiotics are no longer effective against some bacteria which means more disease for us to fight. Using antibiotics only when needed can help stop this happening: #KeepAntibioticsWorking
A bottle of antibiotics with the text "Antibiotics should only be taken when absolutely necessary. They can cause harm and can have serious side effects for adults and children: rash, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhoea, thrush, can cause superbugs. If your doctor says you don't need an antibiotic, that's okay. Your body will be able to fight the infection on it's own".
