What happens if you take antibiotic course faster than recommended?

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.
