Stopping antibiotics before completing the prescribed course can lead to antibiotic resistance, where bacteria survive and adapt, making future infections harder to treat.
This can also result in a resurgence of the infection that could have otherwise been fully resolved with the continued use of antibiotics.

It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and complete the full course of medication even if you start feeling better. In addition, not completing the full course can have serious consequences not just for you, but for others as well, as resistant bacteria can spread. Always consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
