You are purchasing antibiotics from Mexico. You (not a physician) are going to determine when to take them and how long to take them.

To me, that is "willy nilly".

I think you missed my point.

I am saying that doctors are contributing to resistance by prescribing antibiotics for a longer period than needed.

I am not at all talking about people stopping their treatment early, though by doing so they might actually be helping.

You responded to the OP and I am responded to your statement.

Self-prescribing antibiotics is REALLY going to contribute to resistance; whether you get from Dr. Drew or from Mexico. It doesn't make you less reckless because you haven't ingested it yet. You rip on doctors because they prescribe antibiotics for too long, but it's ok for your doctor to just throw a z-pack like a dart and hope it sticks?

Oh and personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable jet setting around Europe with some pills that bought in Mexico that may or may not be laced with fentanyl.
