Resistance increases by the misuse or the inappropriate use of antibiotics. You may encourage the emergence of resistant bacteria and thus delay your healing or even make your medication inactive if you do not: •Follow the dose •Follow the timing of the dose •Follow the duration of the treatment Therefore, to keep the efficacy of this medicine: 1)Use an antibiotic only when prescribed by your physician 2)Follow strictly your prescription 3)Do not re-use an antibiotic without medical prescription even if you think you are fighting an apparently similar illness 4)Never give your antibiotic to another person; it may no be suitable for his illness 5)Once your treatment is over, return to your pharmacist all boxes which have been started, for a correct and appropri-ate destruction of this medicine.
