Should I Complete The Course Of Neoclav For Cough?


I got Neoclav from a doctor in Kenya (ps I am Dutch because of my English??) for an infection on
the left side of my lungs... I cough a lot but had the feeling that it would heal by itself....
My answer now is I took only one tablet can I still stop this cure (because I think in a couple of days it would be
recovered) or do I have to finish the cure?? And what side-effect can I expect from Neoclav 1 g
Thank you Ria Plaizier

Nioclav is amoxicillin plus clavulinic acid. And for 1000 gm you should tske twice daily. See once you taken the antibiotic it will act and kill the bacteria. Every drug has its half life in the body. And according to this the dose is given. If the half life of the drug is 12 hours than it will be given twice daily. And if you are not taking properly infection will aggravate slowly. So better to take antibiotic in prescribed manner and for the prescribed dose.
