Is It Ok If I Don't Take The Remaining Tablets Of Z Pack And Prednisone Because I Don't Want To Suffer The Side Effects?
I have a sinus infection and my doc gave me a z pack and prednisone 10mg said take three tab once a day for2 days then 2 tabs a day for 2 days then 1 a day for 2 days. After reading the side effect I am not going to take this drug. My question is I did take the three tablets yesterday before reading the side effect is it ok that I don't take any more?
Hi! I had gone through your query and understand your concern. You have an bacterial infection of your sinus which I suppose It gives you a lot of troubles. Your doctor has prescribed you the right treatment an antibiotic to fight the infection and a steroid antiinflammatory to help reducing the inflammation in your sinus. I strongly suggest you to continue the treatment as your doctor has advised.I can understand that sometimes reading the probably side effects of a drug can be really frightening but you need to understand that this side effect occur rarely,not in all patient and the benefit of the treatment is incomparable comparing to probably side effects. If you don't take the treatment your sinus infection will aggravate leading to further complication. You have to trust your doc and take the treatment.
Wish you good health. Dr.Rovena
