Just wondering about this levoflox 500mg prescription for my ear infection. I accidentally skipped it for three days. Do you think itll still work if I start taking it again from day four? Or is it better to switch to something else?

You should continue taking Levoflox 500mg as prescribed for the remaining 4 days to complete the full course of treatment. Missing a few doses may reduce the effectiveness of the medication, but it is still important to finish the prescribed course. Do not switch to another medication without consulting your doctor.

I'm really curious about how long a single 0.5 ml dose of tetanus toxoid vaccine would last in someone who hasn't had any tetanus shots before. Like, would it give enough protection if they've never been vaccinated for tetanus? Just trying to understand how effective this dose would be in that situation.
