Comment on Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

Funny how these “assumptions” are proven wrong but still everyone regurgitates them.
Don’t eat eggs, because they increase your cortisol… is another one of these myths

Okay, so how does the average, non-medically-trained person know when the best time to stop is?

…finish all of the medication. antibiotics are not prescribed beyond their need to be consumed. read the directions given to you and follow them.

Exactly. I never said anything about the layperson. Trained medicals on the other hand should be required to update their knowledge.

The non-medically person? They should not! The medically trained person on the other hand, should question and update their training, shouldn’t they?

So a person should take the entire course of antibiotics that are prescribed to them. I guess I’m confused about why you said to the person who said you should take your entire course of antibiotics is making false assumptions.
