Antibiotic policy plays an important role in maintaining antibiotic efficacy. The amount of antibiotics consumed as well as the quality
of choice of antibiotics concerning their properties, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, contribute to developing resistance.
Thus, the strategy of antibiotic therapy involves correct indication, dosage, and duration of treatment. As the largest amounts of antibiotics
are consumed with respiratory infections, the majority of incorrect indications occur with them.
Keywords: antibiotic policy, microbial resistance, appropriate antibiotic prescription.
