Hello The dentist prescribed amoxicillin 500mg 1 dose morning and evening for 6 days. I took a double dose in the morning and evening by mistake. Is this serious?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!
No, it is not serious, it is still well below the maximum dose. Having said that, I also invite you to contact your pharmacist to "replace" the capsules that you took "in excess", in order to carry out the treatment for the entire prescribed duration :)
I hope I've been helpful to you, and please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
