// FAQ
Questions
Can I stop Baptiste AZ once I feel better?+
No. Finish the full course your doctor prescribed. Stopping early lets the surviving bacteria grow back stronger and harder to treat.
Will Baptiste AZ work for a viral cold or flu?+
No. Antibiotics only act on bacteria. Your doctor decides whether the infection is bacterial.
Can I take it on an empty stomach?+
It is usually easier on the stomach with or just after food. Follow your doctor's instruction.
What if I miss a dose?+
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is nearly due, skip the missed one — never double up.
Can I take curd or a probiotic with it?+
Yes, and it often helps digestion during the course — just keep a 2-hour gap from the antibiotic.
