We now have antibiotic regimens (like [Z-Pak](http://happytummyyogaandsweets.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/zpack.jpg)) that only consist of 6 pills, over 5 days and packaged in a way that’s clear what to take and when. This makes sticking to the regimen and following through much easier than a 30 course. But how are you going to force people to stick to the regimen and not just stop after the symptoms go away (they usually do in a couple of days)?
