Prescribed Amoxscillion, Took Medicine With Change In Dosage As Prescribed. Suggestions?

the doctor prescribed one amoxcillin 500mg every eight hours but half hour before meals. i stared out the day late and took the first one at about 10:00am and the second at minutest to 6 and had a few crackers. I had the real second meal about half hour ago and mistakenly took a second one. that is my third for the day but too quickly. what do i do?

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been prescribed Amoxycillin 500 mg thrice daily
.Ideally it should have been planned to take at the interval of 8 hours.but you have consumed two doses of 500 mg in a quick succession.
It will not have any ill effect except little gastric discomfort which can be treated with antacids for a day or two.( We sometimes prescribe 1000 mg twice daily if infection is severe)
