Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to hear that you over took the number of antibiotics. This will not cause any side effects but the course is now shortened by 2 days. If you are still having symptoms at the end of your therapy then I recommend you call your doctor for an extension of the antibiotic.
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your medical concerns and questions
