A member asked:
Is it necessary to take the long term course of antibiotic medicines suggested by doctors or may i stop taking it if i feel fully recovered??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"stop taking": It probably would not be a problem if you don't take your medicine for a couple of days and then see how you feel. If the symptoms recur please take your meds but let your doctor know.
