A member asked:
Is it possible to overdose on regular penicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Depends upon what you call overdose. If you ingest too much, you will probably get sick to your stomach and throw up the excess. There is no generally acceptable lethal dose of penicillin. Most prescriptions do not contain enough peniciliin to even make you sick.
