Amoxicillin capsules are typically taken three times daily. However, the dosage may vary depending on the individual’s condition; some patients may take the medication twice a day. It is essential to follow your physician’s instructions strictly and avoid self-medicating. Patients with impaired liver or kidney function should have their dose adjusted accordingly. Alcohol consumption must be strictly avoided during treatment to prevent a disulfiram-like reaction.
