A member asked:
What if i take my antibiotics soon than scheduled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem: Antibiotics are scheduled to elevate the internal level of the agent above the active threshold. If you take a little extra too soon, you might be wasting the antibiotic but the effect will be the same as long as you continue them for the full time length your doctor prescribed.
