Anti-Biotics - do you always finish your course?

[Naue]

Anti-biotic resistance is a big problem in the modern day - we're running out of anti-biotics to treat infections!

For Gonorrhoea, we currently only have 1 working anti-biotic.

This problem is created by the incorrect use of anti-biotics... It can be contributed to by people not finishing courses of anti-biotics.

So, do you always finish your course fully?

I finish my Antibiotics courses most of the time, but I do have half a course of Flucoxacillin in my drawer that I never finished! :O

I usually do, but now, after reading this thread, I'll be making sure that I definitely finish my course 100% of the time.

I take all my meds according to directions. With antibiotics, it's printed right on the bottle to finish all if the medication.

You are ALWAYS supposed to finish your antibiotics.

I feel like a terrorist saying I never do! As soon as i feel ok I leave the pills.

Always finish from now on, because the illness can lay dormant and come back.

I always do. Whether or not I feel as if I don't need them. There's been numerous times when I finished a bottle, gone back to the doctors and had to retake them. Plus, at the doctors they make it crystal clear to finish the bottle and it's written clearly on the label.
