A member asked:
I've just taken 2500 mg of penicillin in one go, what are the worse things that could happen to me??

Nothing serious: Unless you have penicillin allergy, this drug has very little in the way of side effects. Please tell us the name of the actual drug that you took....there are several different types of penicillin with varying tolerable doses and different side effects. You will know within the next 24 hours if you are going to have any possible side effects as it will be out of your body by then.
