I have been taking my penicillin every eight hours. Can I switch to every six hours now?

Hello, Chris! How are you?

You should follow your doctor's dosing instructions, so if you're supposed to take it 3 times a day, then you should to the 8 hour dosing.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
