Antimicrobial Resistance Explanation:
Red Line Campaign
The Union health ministry’s Antimicrobial Resistance awareness campaign urges people not to use medicines marked with a red vertical line, including antibiotics, without a doctor’s prescription.
These medicines are called the ‘Medicines with the Red Line’.
This campaign is aimed at discouraging unnecessary prescription and over-the-counter sale of antibiotics causing drug resistance for several critical diseases including TB, malaria, urinary tract infection and even HIV.
