A member asked:
Can i take my antibiotic an hour early its penicillin 500mg 1 tablet every 12 hours?

See below : I'm not sure what type of penicillin you are taking. Because most penicillins have very short half lives they are usually taken 4 times a day or every 6 hours if you have normal kidney function.
