Hello, Cleopatra! How are you?

Yes, the dosing can vary depending on the type and severity of the infection, so that can be an appropriate prescription duration and you should follow your doctor's treatment instructions.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
