A member asked:
Is 2000 mg of amoxicillin too much following a tooth extraction,is it ok to take 3 times a day instead of 4?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK, but...: That's a larger than usual dose and would be likely to cause diarrhea and/or abdominal cramping. But not otherwise likely to be harmful. Discuss the dose (and possible change to 3 times daily) with the doctor or dentist who prescribed it. Good luck.
