I am taking penicillin for strep throat, but i find it very difficult to take one pill 4x a day considering all the time I must wait before and after I eat to take them (It just doesn't quite match up with my schedule and I do not want to mess it up). Can I take 2 pills 2x a day?

Hello, Streppy! How are you?

No, you need to take them as instructed by your doctor. The reason they are spaced out that way is to keep the medication in your body at a constant level to prevent the bacteria from being able to start to grow and proliferate, again.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
