A member asked:
How many times can you take/use an antibiotic before becoming permanently resistant to it? a few years ago i used doxycycline 7 days, azithromycin 3 days and moxifloxacin 14 days. will these work again if needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exposure to these antibiotics will most likely not cause increased resistance. Antibiotics should be used as needed to treat specific infections.
