A member asked:
If my child is taking antibiotic 3x aday and he missed to take the 2nd dose, can he take the 2nd and 3rd dose at the same time at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: It is not recommended to double the dose to make up for a skipped dose. Give the second dose as soon as you can, and carry on with your regular dosing intervals from there.
