A member asked:
After seeing my dr. i was given co-fluampicil capsules for 1 week and given a dressing for my foot ulcer how long will it take?

Your question: Is not very clear. It would be important to know if you are diabetic. If you are and have an ulcer on the bottom of the foot then it is very important the ulcer is off loaded as well. Maintaining strict glycemic control is also key. Antibiotics are given when infection is present.
