| Subtheme 1: Leftover Antibiotics | “Well, yeah if it’s not expired, I will take it. Because, why would I go buy another one if I already one.” (Participant 7). |
| Subtheme 2: Pharmacy | “So, I went to a pharmacist and he prescribed me with antibiotic. And that is the first time I got an antibiotic from a pharmacy”. (Participant 5). |
| Subtheme 3: Family | I’m not sure. I think my dad gets it from the hospital where he works from. But I don’t go to the doctor and have a check-up in order to get it. (Participant 11). |
