Anthrax responds well to antibiotic treatment. Antibiotics must be prescribed and taken with medical advice. Nobody should attempt to use antibiotics or any other drugs to treat or protect themselves without first getting medical advice. Taking antibiotics unnecessarily can be harmful. The FDA has approved several different antibiotics for treatment of Anthrax. Specific recommendations on antibiotic usage for Anthrax are changing, so visit www.bt.cdc.gov or call The CDC Public Response Hotline: English (888) 246-2675 or Spanish (888) 246-2857 for the latest details.
