Amoxicillin Over Prescribed

Updated

Hi I was prescribed 500mg tablets of Amoxicillin and told to take 4 tablets twice a day together with a PPI and one other antibiotic of 250mg twice a day. The dose of amoxicillin seems quite high? Any advice please

I forgot to mention that the treatment is for H Pylori, I've looked the treatment up online and it says 1g per day of Amoxicillin and I've been prescribed 4g

The dosage can vary, depending on the severity of the infection, as well as other health factors. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including headache, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

What types of symptoms have you been experiencing? Are you on any other medications?
