A member asked:
I got antibiotics for a uti my dr perscribed me microbid and said i didn't have to take all of them so only about 3 days is it okay to stop them early?

Generally...: Nobody should stop antibiotics early. The doctor should prescribe you exactly the amount you need to take and you should finish them.
