Take One Pill Every 12 Hours By Mouth (Top voted first)

Updated

So I'm not to good at swallowing pills and my doctor prescribed me amoxicillin for my double ear infection. I was wondering if when it says by mouth if it means I have to swallow it whole or if I can chew it up cause it doesn't say on the prescription.

Hello, Connor! How are you?

They aren't time released, so you could chew them, but it's going to taste horrible.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?

I just finished taking 500 mg. amoxicillin every 12 hours for 5 days. Now I'm supposed to take 500mg of tinidazole 1 tablet twice daily for 5 days and clarithromycin 500 mg. 1 tablet every 12 hours. Is it ok to take them at the same time? together?
