No standard rules: These situations are a judgement call. Usually, if a patient was taking half the recommended dose of antibiotics and her symptoms were clearing up, then that lower dose was probably adequate for her illness. If so, one can increase to the recommended dose for the second week. If in the middle of the second week, some of her symptoms are still present, her doctor might want to re-examine her.
