A member asked:

Does sumoxil drops have an alternative? because a pharmacist told me it is no longer available in the market.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There are many different oral antibiotics. The doctor is the person who decides which one to switch to, when one antibiotic is unavailable.
