At a pharmacy, the pharmacist tells you: 'This antibiotic should be taken on an empty stomach, at least one hour before food or two hours after. Complete the full course even if you feel better.' Why must you finish all the tablets?
-

Because the pharmacist needs to sell the full box
-
B
To prevent the infection from returning and reduce antibiotic resistance
-
C
Because unused tablets cannot be returned for a refund
-
D
So your doctor can prescribe a different antibiotic next time
