500mgs is a normal, adult dosage, though sometimes it is adjusted according to the severity of the infection being treated.

We aren't medical professionals, though, what has your doctor suggested you take?

This is an antibiotic, so common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea.
