3 days is standard treatment for urine infection- is that what you have?

YABU... Could be a different type of antibiotic that isn't designed to be taken for weeks on end. This Dr was medically qualified I take it?

Depends what the antibiotic is and what it's treating so yabu

All depends in the strength of the antibiotics. Think drs have to be careful with regards to length and strength of antibiotics in order tk reduce a patients chances of becoming resistant to them. :)
