A member asked:
I took two 500mg capsules of amoxicillin that i didn't need to take. am i going to contribute to antibiotic resistance if i don't continue the rest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotic resistanc: Antibiotic resistance is more prevalent due to overuse and miss use of antibiotics. However, one dose should not be an issue so if you don't need the meds, don't take more.
