I’ve often wondered about the advisability of freezing medications, especially anti-biotics.

We never finish the course for sinus infections. Usually only two days and lots of liquids, Mucinex, saline spray, and kleenex works once we’ve got the infection knocked back to where the body can take over.

I never believed that taking the full course of anti-biotics actually eliminated every single last bacteria in your body anyway. It always seemed that unless you could be guaranteed that it would be gone, the longer you took them, the more anti-biotic resistant what was left became.

You really need to talk to your doctor.

I don’t like to take the anti- biotics and fight the doctor on taking them.

There is one [?] that I have to take at times and he says the entire bottle must be taken, to not stop and start again, as it allows the bad guys to get a grip and not die and they are then stronger.

I always reach for the cultured buttermilk the day they end to put the good guys back in my system.
