I have taken the medicine which Doctor has given me, but yet I am not cured. Has this happened to you?

Yes this has happened to me before, you should continue to take the medicine but call your doctor and tell him/her that it is not working. The last time it happened to me the medicine did not work so we tried another and it did. Good luck and i hope that you feel better soon.

Yes, this has happened to me as well. With all the medicines out there, it is bound to happen once in a while. My best advice to you would be to go back to your doctor and re-evaluate your symptoms. Maybe something was missed in the original visit and the new symptom can allow the doctor to provide the proper medication. Also, keep in mind that medicines do not work the same way for everyone, so if the medicine did not work for you the first time, you might try to switch to another medication or perhaps a different dosage.
