Antibiotics should be taken as prescribed by your physician. Amoxicillin is generally taken 2 or 3 times a day for about a week. You should finish the prescribed course of medications even if the symptoms begin to alleviate. The problem with irregular dosing is that if you kill most of the bacteria except for a few hardy ones, then you could begin to build up resistance to the medication. Then if you pass on these hardy (drug resistant) bugs to someone else, they can be much more difficult to kill in the future. As far as repeating the dosage. It probably won't cause you any harm. But, you might have "bred" some bugs that are resistant to amoxicillin thus decreasing its effectiveness. Also, keep in mind that antibiotics such as amoxicillin can cause side effects such as diarrhea or secondary yeast infections, which is another reason only to take them with consultation of a physician.
Amoxicillin and other penicillins are excreted in the urine, and remain in the body for only a short time.
All antibiotics should be taken in the amounts directed, and for the entire length of time for which they have been prescribed. Taking antibiotics for less than the prescribed period can be dangerous, because if they are not taken long enough to completely eliminate the bacteria for which they are prescribed, the remaining germs may develop an immunity and become harder to kill.
Amoxicillin is Penicillin related and you can eat normally when you are taking this drug. It is usually taken 8 hourly. It may be benificial though to stop drinking alcohol while taking. It is important to finish the course even though you may feel better after a few days. If you stop taking too soon then the infection may return and this time you may find Amoxicillin will not work. You will need an alternative med. If you were taking Flucloxacillin, then you can not eat for 30 mins before taking and for 30 minutes after taking.
Unknown. You may have an allergy to amoxicillin.
