Are there usually a few extra pills in a container of antibiotics?

Theres extra in the sense that you continue taking them even after the infection or whatever has subsided, you have to finish out the prescription just to be sure that you’re better. I don’t think theres extra, like more than specified on the prescription.

No. I always count and they always come out perfect.

Well, i guess if you would skip a dose or your infection cleared up early, you’ll have a few extra.=)
