New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people not to take antibiotic medicines without a doctor's prescription.
"The habit of taking antibiotics can create a big problem. It may give relief for some time, but you should never take an antibiotic without doctor's prescription," Modi said in his radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat'.
Self-medication in the use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, he said.
