A member asked:
On antibiotics for strep throat. i take penicillin twice daily and forgot a whole day and started taking it again. will it work still?

Yes: Make sure that you comply with twice daily dosing from here on out and finish all of your antibiotics, even if you feel 100% better before they are all gone. It is sometimes helpful to set a timer to remind yourself when doses are due. Take Care
