finalf72 Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 my doc told me to take one 500 mg ampicilin pill per day, but then when i got the pills from the pharmacy the bottle says take two per day, what should i do? what the doc told me? or what the bottle says?
Pocky Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 You should call the pharmacist and tell them what the doctor told you and ask their advice.
GirlDown Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 call the pharmacy... i have had many prescriptions, and doctors will tell you that taking two 25mg pills don't always equal one 50mg. or take 2, fake a reaction, and sue like everyone else would.
Author finalf72 Posted March 12, 2005 Author Posted March 12, 2005 i just asked em they said theyll double check with the doc tomorow and give me a call, so what shoud i do, just not take another pill and wait for tomorow to see if i have to take two?
GirlDown Posted March 12, 2005 Posted March 12, 2005 Originally posted by safety Just take one for now to be on the safe side! you should never take medicine when you are unsure of the directions.
Author finalf72 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Posted March 15, 2005 turns out i have to take two hey pocky, ur cat is bad ass, like, garfield or something
safety Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Until you found out, did you end up taking 1 or 2 or none until you heard back???
tiki Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Sometimes the pharmacy has to substitute because a medication is not in stock, or EVEN some doctors write it for a strength that isn't even available (yes, doctors can be dumb too). Make sure the bottle says 250, then you take 2 250's to make 500.
