A member asked:

Do i stop taking the first antibiotic and start the new one or continue to take the old antibiotic until i'm out and then start the new one for uti?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ANTIBIOTICS: If the reason for changing is the culture sensitivities then stop the old and start the new. Ask if not sure.
