antibiotics is becoming a serious threat. Antibiotics cannot kill viral pathogens. Painkillers and other medicines are used to treat the symptoms of disease. They do not kill pathogens. Most medicines are mixtures. They are formulations made by mixing the ingredients in carefully measured quantities to ensure that the product has the required properties. One or more of the ingredients may be the drug, such as aspirin, but other ingredients make it easier or more pleasant for a patient to take the drug in solution or as a capsule or tablet. Give examples of painkillers and medicines used to treat symptoms. Interpret data about painkillers and other medicines. Identify formulations given appropriate information. Students do not need to know the names of components in proprietary products. Should the routine use of antibiotics as growth promoters in farm livestock be banned? Suggest what patients, doctors and scientists should do to ensure we will have effective antibiotics in the future. Discussion starter – imagine the world we would live in if antibiotics stopped working. Samples of medicine packaging to stimulate discussion. Role play: Pharmacist/patient giving recommendation based on symptoms (cards prepared or students’ own ideas). symptoms of diseases and medicines used to relieve symptoms and treat disease; names of some antibiotics. Define the mixture economic implications of drugs. Interpret data about antibiotics, painkillers and other medicines. How can pain be measured? Students research how Norway avoids using antibiotics in aquaculture. Students research how Denmark is tackling antibiotic resistance. Students research the role of a variety of inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical drugs, eg: banana, cellulose, oleic acid, potato starch, wax. What properties do capsules or tablets need to have?
