Hi after my wisdom tooth extraction doctor has prescribed me Novamax 500mg thrice a day (for 5days) do i really require such high dose of antibiotics  ? Since i have earlier had various antibiotics for sinusitis 2 months back before that also i had for Mrsa infection and other reasons so i am worried since i know antibiotics arent so good . Please help. Can i just take 2 antibiotics of Novamax 500mg in a day for thrice days ? ( I am taking painkiller only if require )

In case of antibiotics if you reduce the dosage the Same antibiotic will not work later as it more likely create antibiotic resistance. Be aware never do it.As regard with pain killers that is not the case.
