Hello there. I can understand your concern. No. Not really. As long as you take the medicines regularly as suggested, resistance is out of the question. So yes, go with the new regimen as suggested by your physician. But make sure you take it for the whole course and don't leave half way. . best regards..Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
