How long before stopping 1 antibiotic before starting a different one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediately: You do not have to wait. Make sure it is prescribed. Sometimes we use a combination of antibiotics. If your infection was resistant to previous antibiotic you can start the new antibiotic right away.
