Abstract Antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious public health problems of our time, severely threatening the effectiveness of modern medical treatment. Irrational and excessive use of antibiotics, incomplete treatment courses, and the tendency towards self-medication have been identified as major causes of increasing antibiotic resistance. This is a review-based study that analyzes antibiotic resistance, the role of awareness, and the contribution of pharmacists from a public health perspective.
This study, through a review of existing scientific literature, World Health Organization guidelines, and various policies, highlights the causes, effects, and preventive strategies of antibiotic resistance. The research shows that lack of awareness, the use of antibiotics without prescriptions, and misconceptions among patients play a significant role in the spread of antibiotic resistance.
In this context, pharmacists can play a crucial role, particularly through rational antibiotic dispensing, patient counseling, antimicrobial stewardship programs, and public awareness campaigns. The active participation of pharmacists at the community and hospital levels can help reduce the misuse of antibiotics.
This review concludes that antibiotic resistance is a multifaceted public health problem, and addressing it requires increased awareness, empowering pharmacists, and strengthening policies for the rational use of antibiotics.
