Safe, but dont do it: I would not recommend taking a drug, especially an antibiotic, without a script from the doctor. Even if you've taken it before. What you make *think* you have (disease) May not *actually* be the same disease as what you had before. Improper use of antibiotics can lead to resistance of that antibiotic requiring use of more toxic antibiotics and/or diarrhea that may require hospitalization.
