School - Children & Meds

Updated

Both my daughters are prescribed liquid amoxicillin every 12 hrs. But I gave them at 9:30 pm, so the next dose is 9am... But I can't give it too them because they are at school. Is it OK if I give it too them, once they get home from school & eat dinner. I worry because my dosing time is off, will the medication, not be as effective. Please I would appreciate your insight & thank you....

Hello, Star! How are you?

It is best taken twice a day, as prescribed, but it doesn't have to be precisely 12 hours apart. Thus, you could give it to them in the morning, before they go to school and then in the evening, before bed.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
