Augmentin 650
I was described Augmentin 650 by my gynaecologist and was prescribed to continue for 5 days, 3 times in a day! My infections seem to have gotten better after 2 doses. I have a fast tomorrow and will have to skip taking the meds for the whole day tomorrow. Would it be okay? Can I stop after today and not restart even after one skipped day?
Also, if I get a urine or blood test for UTI or any other reasons during my course of medication, will the results be affected?

That is augmentin standard dose. Antibiotic whenever taken , the course should be completed else infection does not get cleared and it leads to worsening of the infection. Also, it builds antibiotic resistance and then you need a higher dose and stronger antibiotic which may affect baby

Discontinuing antibiotics midway can lead to antibiotic resistance
While on antibiotics urine routine or culture results may show negative
