It should be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. Always take the medicine as prescribed by the doctor for the prescribed duration.

Do not stop taking the medicine, even if you feel better. Incomplete treatment may result in treatment failure, and the infection might reoccur.
