In the published article, Nsingo Z, Bangalee V, Johnston D. Utilisation of antibiotics in a community pharmacy: A case from North-West, South Africa. Afr J Prm Health Care Fam Med. 2025;17(1), a4943. https://doi.org/10.4102/phcfm.v17i1.4943, on page 5, under the heading ‘Choice of antibiotic and payment method’, the following was incorrectly formulated.

Instead of:

Both generic and originator brands for fosfomycin (originator, n = 102; generic, n = 157) and nitrofurantoin (originator, n = 62; generic, n = 62) were dispensed.

It should be:

Both generic and originator brands for fosfomycin (originator, n = 102; generic, n = 157) and nitrofurantoin (originator, n = 62; generic, n = 62) were dispensed. Correct formula is (originator, n = 102; generic, n = 157) and nitrofurantoin (originator, n = 82; generic, n = 24).

On page 6, paragraph 4, there was a spelling mistake. Instead of: Etitrea, the correct spelling is: Eritrea.

On page 3, Table 1, Nitrofurantoin was listed twice and Levofloxacin was misspelt.

Instead of:

TABLE 1: Overview of antibiotics dispensed according to age and gender in percentages (%).

It should be:

TABLE 1: Overview of antibiotics dispensed according to age and gender in percentages (%).
