No, you should not continue antibiotics beyond the prescribed five-day course without your doctor?s advice. Taking extra doses unnecessarily may increase the risk of side effects and antibiotic resistance. Please consult your doctor if your symptoms have not improved.

  1. Follow Prescribed Duration: Do not extend the course of Sporidex-AF 750 (Cephalexin 750 mg) without consulting your healthcare provider.

  2. Avoid Self-Extension: Continuing antibiotics longer than prescribed can lead to side effects or antibiotic resistance.

  3. Consult Your Doctor: If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor to assess if additional treatment is necessary.

  4. Complete the Prescribed Course: Typically, a 5-day course is sufficient unless your doctor advises otherwise.
