I think bactrim is often a 10 day abx course (not necessarily for cf'rs).
Does the bottle say 2 weeks or 10 days? It if says 2 weeks you should have had enough, in which case it was a pharmacy error.
Did his symptoms improve, if not you might want to give the Dr a call and ask....

Is it like Keflex or zithromax that have a short shelf life in liquid form? There were certain abx with DS where the pharmacy would give me the unopened bottles containing the powdered medicing, so I could just add the water. Otherwise, I'd be running to the pharmacy every week for refills.

Yeah, I would check to make sure the pharmacy gave you enough. Cf kids get longer and higher doses of antibiotics, so some pharmacists are not used to it. I can remember twice where they did not give me enough antibiotics for the 2 weeks and I had to call/go back to get the rest.
Now I always count out the pills to make sure they will be the 2 week dosage or however long it is prescribed. Yes, the OCD is kicking in.
How is your son feeling?

I wish I had paid better attention to the bottle when we got it! I called the pharmacy and they are going to fax in another order to the doctor. I do not know what happened but I am waiting to hear back from the doctor about whether or not we need to continue until Wednesday with a new prescription.
The Bactrim helped tremendously! He got better within a week, I will never let anyone wait six weeks before treating his nasty cough like that again. Unfortunately, he seems to be getting a cold now <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Seriously, if it's not one thing, it is another. He is sniffly and bringing up more from CPT than he did last week. I know the Bactrim won't help a cold but I hate to not complete a course of abx in this situation.
Thanks for the replies, it is good to hear it has happened to others, I am not losing it completely (yet!). I will most definitely check the bottle and be fastidious about it all in the future. It is such a waste of time to deal with the same drug twice!
