The treatment of a certain illness with an antibiotic that is not yet proven to work for this illness scientifically, but had been proven practically (ie by experience!)
You should take the antibiotic in the amount and the time period the doctor recommends. If you do not finish the regimen, the antibiotic will not work properly.
It is an empiric learning.
Empiric means based on experience.
An example of a sentence is, 'She had an impossible training regimen.' Or 'He kept up with the regimen when he was in school.'
Basically, you waste the antibiotic and run the risk of getting what is known as a super infection. The proper dosage and timing of an antibiotic is clinically established. By taking the antibiotic faster than recommended, it does not increase the effectiveness of the drug, and you will run out of the prescription before the regimen was to be completed. Consequently, all the microbes will not be killed, and the most resistant ones can remain able to rebound into an infection that the antibiotic is unable to fight. The best advice is to follow the directions on the prescription. Take the correct dosage at the correct times until the prescription is gone, regardless of how you feel. The last day or two of the antibiotic is the most critical. That is when the most resistant bugs are being killed.
Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum was created in 1480.

Ulcers can be caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). If this organism is present, the ulcer would be treated with a triple medication regimen; to include: Flagyl plus another antibiotic, antacids to neutralize acid in the stomach, a proton-pump inhibitor which will help heal an ulcer by decreasing acid production in the stomach, and Carafate which will coat an ulcer to allow it to heal.
