The involvement of doctors, patients, and chemists is crucial in curbing the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Doctors should prescribe antibiotics only when necessary, patients should understand that not all infections require antibiotics, and chemists should sell antibiotics only on prescription. "It is important that doctors mention the exact indication on their prescriptions while prescribing antimicrobials," according to the letter. The letter not only addresses the doctors, it also urges pharmacists to be careful while giving antibiotics.
