There are many excellent local and international resources to guide rational prescribing which we refer you to.

One of the key up-to-date local guidelines can be found on the Federation of Infectious Diseases Society of Southern Africa: SA Antibiotic Stewardship Program website http://www.fidssa.co.za/SAASP , as well as on their mobile app: SAASP.
