Antibiotic pill by mouth

Should I take antibiotics for a cold?

Suffering from a bad cold? Feeling awful? Will antibiotics help?

Common colds are caused by viruses. Antibiotics should not be prescribed to patients with a common cold because they do not fight infections caused by viruses. Inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to the development of resistance. What you need is a treatment that addresses the viruses that cause common colds.

BETADINE® Cold Defence Nasal Spray contains iota-carrageenan, a natural ingredient that traps and disables viruses preventing them from spreading and multiplying. Reach for BETADINE®.
