A member asked:
Ive been taking my antibiotics at weird times. can i miss a dose tonight and then reset my schedule to which i take antibiotics tomorrow? amoxicillin i am taking ?

It is not recommended to miss a dose of antibiotics and then reset the schedule for the next day. Antibiotics are prescribed to be taken at specific times and intervals to maintain a consistent level of medication in the body, which is necessary for effective treatment. Missing a dose can lead to decreased effectiveness of the medication and potential antibiotic resistance.
