Antibiotic resistance
Studies have shown that even low concentrations of antibiotics in the environment can contribute to antibiotic resistance and therefore as little as possible should end up in our environment.
For antibiotics in general, it is recommended that these pharmaceuticals are used as restrictively as possible without risking the patient's health.
