A member asked:
I took extra amoxicillin today. will this cause an overdose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only a few? No: If you took a whole bottle of the antibiotic while you have kidney failure, then yes- however, I am assuming you may have taken a few extra tablets (1-3), which is not typically associated with an antibiotic "overdose".
