HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are some persons who are on long term antibiotics to treat varied infections.

It would be best for him to continue the medication as suggested by his doctor.
It is not likely that he would experience any different side effects compared to what may have happened when on the course previously.
It is not considered an overdose.

I hope this helps
