Unhappy Re: mistakes in prescriptions!!

I have a doctor who constantly prescribed antibiotics wrong!
He keeps giving amoxicillin bd, flucloxacillin tid, erythromycin for acne 250mg daily and metronidazole 1 daily. I often just change it, but contacting the doctor he tells me to change it, except today - erythromycin - that was correct, apparently. Two different people got it in one day! He has days! Co-codamol days, mucodyne days, simple linctus days, otosporin days (one drop bd!!!!).
Don't get me started on eye drops and nasal sprays. Chloramphenicol drops, apply daily.
What can I do about this? I'm told he has been challenged on it many a time, but nothing!!! I have even done it myself with short term results! He always reverts back!!! Retire already!!!
