A member asked:
Would you suggest to use clarithromycin for 20 days even though doctor prescribed it for 10 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why?: It's best to follow your doctor's recommendation with antibiotic use. If you feel you need longer treatment you should discuss it with your doctor before doing it. There are some risks associated with prolonged use, and it needs to be considered carefully before extending the duration of treatment.
