	Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Guideline (India) Balaji, V., P. Rupali, K. Walia, et al. Indian Council of Medical Research (2018) C2 View PDF(418) Download (172) Add to my MEDBOX Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health challenge, which is recognized as high priority area by the Government of India. The increasing consumption of antibiotics is one of the key drivers of antimicrobial resistance seen in bugs of public health importance. Irrational prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics, poor regulations around sale of antibiotics, self-medication, lack of education and awareness regarding responsible use of antibiotics have been identified as some of the key factors driving antimicrobial resistance in our country. The ‘National Health Policy’ (2017), addresses antimicrobial resistance as one of the key issues and prioritises development of guidelines regarding antibiotic use, limiting the over-the-counter use of antibiotics, restricting the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in livestock, and pharmaco-vigilance including prescription audit inclusive of antibiotic usage in the hospital and community Tags: AMR, antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial, guideline, Source: https://icmr.nic.in/sites/default/files/

In developing a recommended formulary, countries should consider the needs of patients and facilities where they receive care. For example, clinicians in rural or primary health centers may need wide access to first-line antibiotics (e.g., penicillin, ampicillin, TMP-SMX), but last resort antibiotics such as carbapenems or colistin might be limited to tertiary care hospitals. Efforts to create antibiotic formularies may be linked to efforts within countries to create or update essential medicine lists (EML) Tags: antibiotics, AMR, resistance, antibiotic resistance, essential drug list, Essential Drugs, Source: https://www.cdc.gov/antibiotic-use/healt
