A member asked:
Supposed to take antibiotics 3 times per day. how many hours do i wait in between?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
8, give or take: 24 divided by 3 is 8, so an interval of 8 hours is about right. However, with antibiotics, you don't have to be quite that exact, so you can be off by a couple hours.
