Read the bottle: directions should be clear on the pharmacy bottle. usually until the bottle is gone or until your next appointment. Make sure to check for refills. If you remain stumped give the pharmacy or office a call so you can get an explanation

7-10 days: The USUAL length of therapy is 7-10 days, depending on where your infection is. However, this clarification should be confirmed with your prescribing physician and pharmacist..
