A member asked:
I've got strep throat and started z-pak today. do i have to take the entire pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The symptoms will improve whether or not you take any medication. The considerable complications that can occur after strep can occur if you do not complete your medication. At one dose a day i would think it is not to difficult to complete the rx.Trying to "save some" for next time can put you at risk.
