During the beginning of your antibiotic treatment, the "weaker" bacteria start to be killed of. The more resilient "stronger" ones won't die until near the end of your treatment. If you do not finish, only the strong ones will be left. They will then grow into a colony consisting of only strong bacteria, which no one wants.

What are antibiotics useful for?
Antibiotics are used to fight bad bacteria/infection, although they just attack all cells in the body both good and bad. It is important to take antibiotics as prescribed and to take the entire dose. If you do not take the whole prescription, the antibiotics will attack only the good cells and leave your body more susceptible to another infection or illness. You can also find probiotics and a prescription is not required for taking them. You can order them online.It is also important to note that antibiotics SHOULD NOT be used for colds or the flu (including H1N1). These illnesses are caused by viruses, which are not responsive to antibiotics. Taking antibiotics is useless when you have the cold/flu.

Can you take nexium with augmentin?
You can take antibiotics with Nexium but antibiotics given in combination of Nexium can cause life threatening complications in some of the patients, an uncommon adverse effect. If you are unsure if your particular antibiotic will affect you adversely ask your pharmacist.
Why is it harmful for patients not to continue the whole course of antibiotic treatment?
If you stop taking your antibiotics before the full course of treatment is complete, you may kill only some of the bacteria that caused the infection. Worse yet, the remaining bacteria may have some resistance to the antibiotics. It is also important to take antibiotics only when prescribed by a doctor, and in particular do not take antibiotics for a virus (such as the common cold or the flu). Antibiotics have no effect on viruses.

What is the correlation between antibiotic use and thrush?
Antibiotics kill the bad bacteria which make us sick, but they also kill the good bacteria that our bodies need. The good bacteria actually help keep the "bugs" at bay, so when we take antibiotics and they kill all the bacteria (good and bad) we are then more susceptible to other problems, such as thrush. This can usually be avoided by taking pro biotics (cultured yogurt) or acidophylus tablets which replace the good bacteria in our bodies. You can take them while taking antibiotics, but can also take them full time, even when not taking antibiotics.
