Perfect example of why it's better to be supervised if possible. I'm not a doctor, but every human antibiotic script says "take the full course, do not stop early unless there are side effects/an allergic reaction, and do not skip any doses." Also tuning the dose is best done by a doctor/nurse.

Critical support to anybody self medicating under capitalism, but there is a reason medical school takes so much time and effort, and it's because this shit is really complicated.

I’ve never had a doctor tune the dose, they just give me the same broad spectrum. Your making a mountain out of a molehill. When people take it for months, yes resistant bacteria happens, but following rules is pretty simple.

Depending on the nature of the infection you can fucking die by not doing the full course antibiotics. Your anecdote is meaningless

If I’m broke and sick it’s there for me. You take the full course, just skip the Dr and pharmacy.
