Evryone is different: try to be patient and follow your docs instructions. Take it exactly as doc has prescribed for the full course. You might start to notice an improvement in your symptoms within 2-3 days.

1-2 days: if the bacteria is sensitive and the medicine works, you should see some effect in 1-2 days full course is 10 days
