Oh gee - WHY do you have any antibiotics left over from Magoo? I'm sorry to be such a poop about this, but when you are prescribed antibiotics you are supposed to take them until they are gone. You were just lucky that the infection didn't flare up again - not finishing the program.

This is how people become antibiotic resistant - and that is becoming a huge problem in this country right now.

BTW - I graduated from nursing school in 1962.
