Suggest Treatment For Bronchial Asthma Infection
Have taken azithromycin for bronchial asthmatic infection. Taking 250 mg for last 4 days. Have one pill left. My condition is completely better but the med. is causing me to have a bad stomach and a dizzy feeling. Would it do any harm if I didn t take that last pill?

Hello,
First of all bronchial asthma is not an infection. It is a condition in which there is spasm of bronchial muscles and airpipe which causes breathing difficulty.
Whenever we start any antibiotic, the course should be completed even if you are feeling better before the course gets completed. The reason behind it is if you do not complete the course, the bacteria or infective agent develops resistant to the antibiotic which you didn't complete the course.
And next time if you again get the infection by the same infective agent, the antibiotic won't work the next time and you will need higher antibiotic.
So whenever you are put on any antibiotic make sure you complete the course as per prescribed by your doctor.
I hope i have given you satisfactory answer.
Thank you
