Amoxicillin antibiotics. is it ok to take again three hours after the last one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but unnecessary: You should take any prescription medication as directed for best effect. If unsure, call your doctor who prescribed them, or the pharmacy where you had the prescription filled for instructions. Taking antibiotics more frequently than prescribed just makes you run out faster, and may make them less effective in eliminating the infection you are treating because you run out too soon.
