At Century Medica, all our doctors are professionally trained in the appropriate use of antibiotics, which is why we will not put you at risk by prescribing antibiotics to you without having the opportunity of a clinical examination. Should our doctors feel that antibiotic is warranted in your case, we can prescribe or will refer you to appropriate providers if you require further physical workup.
