A member asked:
Taking 500mg penicillin vk 2x/day for ten days for strep throat. is this usual dosage? is this enough/ok timing to kill it for sure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably : You should because the usual dose is 500 miligrams 2 to 3 times a day for 10 days. You're in that arena and I think you will be fine
