[00:00:00]You take an antibiotic. After swallowing, the medicine travels through your body and enters the bloodstream.

[00:00:06]Once inside, antibiotic attack bacteria by stopping their growth or damaging vital structures needed for survival.

[00:00:13]But while the medicine is working, your body is also slowly breaking it down and removing it over time. If the next dose is taken too late, antibiotic levels can fall below the amount needed to keep bacteria under control. Even a short gap can give surviving bacteria the chance to recover and become active again. Once conditions improve, bacteria begin multiplying and spreading again.

[00:00:37]Repeated exposure to weak antibiotic levels may allow stronger bacteria to survive and gradually develop antibiotic resistance. And resistant bacteria can make future infections far more difficult to treat. That's why taking antibiotics at the same time every day is so important. Stable antibiotic levels create constant pressure on bacteria and reduce their chance to survive. Always take antibiotics exactly as prescribed.
