Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was prescribed amoxicillin to 650mg/5ml suspension with 2 teaspoons to be taken daily. I didn't know that the doses were supposed to be 12 hours apart and I took the 2nd dose 7 hours after the previous dose. Is this a problem and what should I do? I'm feeling a little nauseaus and dizzy.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Amoxicillin sometimes gives stomach pain, dizziness or nausea at the beginning and you may feel a bit more because you have taken in short time.
My advice to you is: Keep taking the other doses with 12 hours apart for all the days doctor have prescribe to you. The symptoms you feel, will leave soon, so don't worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Elona Dashi
