10 days of antibiotics. 4x per day. 1 hour before or 2 hours after food.

How would you fit this into your day?

I had penicillin recently with the same dosage and had one when I woke up, before breakfast. Then one around 12, an hour before lunch. One around 4/5 and one before bed.

Breakfast 6 am
Dose 1 - 8 am
Dose 2 - 11.30 am
Lunch 12.30
Dose 3 - 3 pm
Dinner 6 pm (small dc)
Dose 4 - before bed

I'd have to set alarms / use a dosette box to remember.

@RoderickHosclassicblackhoodie Thanks. I just can’t get my head around it for some reason. I have a physical job and have to leave what I’m doing to get my medication out of my locker then my break is not at a set time because it depends on how busy/quiet the day is 🙈
It just doesn’t seem to fit very easily into my day 😅
