  • This is done by administering the drug at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night.
  • Continue to use this medication until the full prescribed time is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days.
  • Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection.

  • Symptoms include difficulty breathing, skin rash, hives, itching.
  • Tell your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, severe stomach cramps, watery or bloody diarrhea, fever or unusual weakness either while using this drug or after discontinuing use.
