Detailed explanation-1: -Waiting too long between antibiotic doses increases the chance of bacteria growing and becoming resistant to the medicine. The following are examples of appropriate time intervals for taking your antibiotics. If your label says to use the medicine: Twice a day – take your dose every 12 hours.
Detailed explanation-2: -Selecting an Antibiotic Each antibiotic is effective only against certain types of bacteria. In selecting an antibiotic to treat a person with an infection, doctors evaluate which bacteria are likely to be the cause. For example, some infections are caused only by certain types of bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -If an antibiotic prescription is not finished, you could become sick again, according to the CDC. This could happen because you’re feeling better and you might think you are over an infection. But, some of the bacteria may still be hanging on in your body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some antibiotics are always meant to be taken at the same time of day, others are meant to be taken before, with or after a meal. If you are supposed to take the medicine three times a day, for example, it usually needs to be taken at set times so that the effect is spread out evenly over the course of the day.
