A member asked:
Is it necessary to complete the dose of antibiotic prescribed. does incomplete dose has anything to do with antibiotic resistance to bacterial infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should always complete the course of prescribed antibiotics because they may not be effective other wise. Any over use of antibiotics promotes resistance.
