Is It Safe To Take Amoxicillin 6 Hours After A Does When Says Every 12

Updated

Can I take amoxicillin every 6 hours when it says take every 12? I messed up my dose. I took it at 3:15am when I usually take it at 9am. Will I be ok if I took it at 10am?

Hello, Miranda! How are you?

Yes, you can't really overdose on an antibiotic, so to speak, so accidentally taking one early won't hurt anything. Just return to your regular dosing schedule from now on. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a prescription of amoxicillin for strep throat and I took my first dosage at 4:30 pm, but the bottle says twice a day. Should I take another dose before bed or is it too soon? Is it ok to take amoxicillin twice a day after 6 hours?

I missed my amoxicillin dosage and I took Advil but I still have to take amoxicillin. Should I wait or just skip the dosage? Can you take advil after two hours take amoxicillin?
