I had a strep culture go out on Wednesday or Thursday of last week and my doc prescribed an antibiotic...culture came back negative yesterday and the voicemail they left advised me to stop taking them. Seems like I'm supposed to finish the course so I don't help create drug resistant bacteria, right? 10/14/2014 11:48:39 AM |

Since you don't have Strep, all you're doing by continuing to take the pills is harming the good bacteria inside of you. 10/14/2014 12:01:42 PM |

Do people take pro-biotics with antibiotics? My stomach is still messed-up from antibiotics that I took several weeks ago (and i had a very good reason to take the antibiotics). 10/14/2014 12:07:48 PM |

^^I've been told probiotics, or yogurt will help that, but I'm a little skeptical... 10/14/2014 1:36:00 PM |

Stop taking them whenever you want and drink lots of alcohol with them- it fucks you up! 10/14/2014 2:52:49 PM |

hell no.
I take them for like 2 days, then the bottle just sits in my cabinet until I move out (sometimes for years). 10/17/2014 6:41:56 AM |

Minus the trolls, make sure the women use a backup form of birth control when taking antibiotics. Some will reduce the effectiveness of the different hormonal methods. 10/18/2014 9:39:42 AM |
