A member asked:
500 mg amoxicillin capsule too high? 3x per day for 10 days. prescribed for potential strep infection (child tested positive for a) mine was negative but like symptoms. day 3: woke up with light rug burn like rash on chest and arms but went away?

I would expect an adult to be adequately treated with twice daily meds at that dose but 3x is okay. The rug burn like rash is common to some strains of strep. I wouldn't consider it a medication effect. You should do fine.
