I forgot to take my antibiotic at dinner. should i eat now and take it before i go to bed or skip it?

Take it now: Since you are only a few hours late, take it now. If you were to forget a dosage but not realize until 3 hours or less from your next scheduled dose then i would take your next dose about an hour early. Do not double up on doses ( do not take two doses at the same time).
