Can I take more than one penicillin at a time...?!
Question: Can I take more than one penicillin at a time...?
Okay, so, I'm supposed to take 4 pills a day (500 mg each) and like... can I take two at once? Because, my mom said I need to spread them out a bit but by the time I go to bed... it's like, er, I have only taken two during the day... so, is it okay to double up? I know it causes stomach problems... so, would that be worse if I took two at once?
Also, uh, if anybody knows about this... how high a dose should I take of probiotics? I take 25+ billion or whatever right now... but, er, is that a decent amount for as much penicillin that I'm taking?

Answers:
If you take 2 at once, it's an overdose. You need to have at least 4 hours in between each one. It can cause a lot worse than stomach problems.
You should take as prescribed. When you take too much the body throws off the excess and it is wasted. Set a clock or whatever you need to do to get on the prescribed schedule.
