Inform the doctor if you do not feel better after completing the whole course of treatment. You must also notify your doctor if your symptoms worsen while using this medication.

Inappropriate use of antibiotics means using them when they are not necessary, such as for viral infections (like colds or the flu), stopping the treatment early, or using the wrong antibiotic for a specific infection. This can lead to antibiotic resistance.

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in a way that reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics. As a result, the drugs no longer kill the bacteria, making infections more difficult to treat. This resistance can develop from overusing or misusing antibiotics, like taking them unnecessarily or not finishing the prescribed course.
