A member asked:

Is upset stomach usually associated with amoxicillin? i've taken two 500 mg pills with little to no food. can you take it with or without food?

Usually no problem: Amoxicillin rarely upsets the stomach, but if you think it's happening to you, take it with some food. It is equally well absorbed and equally effective taken with or without food.
