A member asked:

What to do if i took too much amoxicillin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Amoxicilin OD: One should try to never take more than the recommended dose of a medicine but fortunately this one has a fairly low risk of serious problems. One would have to take a very large amount of medicine to have any serious side effects from it. The most likely apart from an upset stomach would be diarrhea.

I took my first pill of amoxicillin at 6, which means that I take it every 8 hours. I want to change the schedule and take it at 3, 11, 7.
