Being treated for a parasite. The pesticides we treated with resulted in bladder infections in both me & my boyfriend. The dermatologist that was treating us gave us each an Rx for 12 ampicillin 500=3 days! I complained having taken it several times for urinary tract infections, I knew the usual dose (1 500mg pill every 6 hours for 7-10 days--depending on the doctor I was going to at the time. Do I have the low dosing record?! He wouldn't change it. Don't know what to do next.

Hi dez,

Unfortunately, it's unethical for anyone but your doctor to tell you how long you're supposed to take an antibiotic that he/she prescribed you, based on the nature and severity of the infection.

However, I will say that most antibiotics I've taken for bacterial infections have been prescribed for an average of 7-10 days; and I've personally never heard of anyone walking away with a 5 day prescription of antibiotics, but I'm sure there are some of those cases out there with minimal infections.

Hope this helps!
