Hello Doctor,

Do I need to wake up at night to take my antibiotic every 6 hours?

Answered by Dr. Steven Chee

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Preferably you should wake up during the night to take the antibiotic so that you complete the course within the stipulated time and maintain consistent levels of the medication in your bloodstream for effective treatment.

Thanks
