The doctor prescribed an antibiotic penicillin two tablets of 250 mg 4 time per day throat infection. is it 2grams a normal prescription? is it possible to start with a low dosage and after increase the dose?

Was a throat culture positive for strep? If so, 250 mgs 4 times daily( every 6 hours) for ten days should eradicate the infection. Antibiotics are ineffective in viral throat infections.

Always take meds as prescribed. Recommended doses vary based on current diagnosis, but they range commonly in the 250-500 mg 4 times/day. Underdosing may result in protracted symptoms and bacterial resistance.
