Focused on addressing all potential sources of antibiotic resistance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s (CDC) Get Smart About Antibiotics Week 2014 (November 17 \u2013 23) is supporting responsible use of antibiotics in dermatology. Galderma Laboratories, L.P., our U.S. affiliate, is proud to help raise awareness and support the CDC\u2019s mission of saving antibiotics by ensuring appropriate use when it comes to the treatment of acne<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a world leader in dermatology, Galderma is committed to appropriate use of antibiotics.
