Clinical Practice Guidelines for Antibiotic Stewardship

Clinical Practice Guidelines for Antibiotic Stewardship are recommendations designed to help healthcare providers use antibiotics effectively and responsibly. They aim to ensure antibiotics are prescribed only when necessary, choosing the right drug, dose, and duration to effectively treat infections while minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance. These guidelines promote careful decision-making to prevent overuse, reduce side effects, and protect the effectiveness of antibiotics for the future, ultimately improving patient outcomes and public health.
