It depends on what antibiotic you have taken too much of and what other disease states you have (renal insufficiency, Diabetes, pt receiving warfarin, etc). If you have just taken an extra pill, it is unlikely that you will experience any adverse effects from it unless you have a condition that pre-disposes you to being sensitive to the side effects of antibiotics. Always try to take your antibiotic as directed. More than ordered is not better. In most cases, it is just a waste. You get the germ-killing effect at dose x and anything more does not produce any better or quicker results. Taking more than directed just causes you to run out too soon. There are some bugs out there such as Strep A that causes strep throat that you really need to take the antibiotics for the full 10 day course or it will come back on you.

∙ 12y agoYes you can. Some of the bacteria may change DNA to become resistant to the antibiotics. If you then take the antibiotics, the normal bacteria would be killed but the mutated bacteria left which would make you even more ill.
Aslong as you take as much as you have been prescribed it should be fine, and remember to keep taking them even if you feel better. Ask your doctor for help

Why does the lead singer of flyleaf have a tattoo if she's christian?
Getting tattoos is not anti-christian necessarily. The only reference the bible makes to that is not to harm yourself in anyway, not everyone sees getting a tattoo as self-harm. These days many normal daily activities might be considered self-harm, such as drinking caffeine, eating fatty foods, taking over the counter medication, taking prescription medication, et c., so whether or not tattoos are self-harm is a subjective thing.
If you are taking antibiotics and skipped a day will the antibiotics work?
I would suggest that your contact the physician who prescribed you the antibiotics. Antibiotics are prescribed for many conditions and they always must be finished unless otherwise directed by your doctor. People generally feel better within days and think they can stop their antibiotics. Infections can return if you do not finish the prescribed course. Bacteria can develop a tolerance to our antibiotics due to many people not finishing the job. Ask a doctor if taking a probiotic during or after a treatment is okay to get help with digestion during a treatment and restore beneficial bacteria needed in the body.

Why are antibiotics used What type of infection are they most effective in treating?
You've partly answered this yourself. Antibiotics are used to treat infections. Specifically, they are for treating microbial (bacterial) infections. Antibiotics can be used to treat many types. Depending on the type or seriousness of infection, different antibiotics are used. For instance, a person with severe acne may be prescribed a topical gel with clindamycin but a person with a severe case of syphilis may be treated with a course of penicillin. However, antibiotics do not work on viruses, which is why they don't work on colds or flu. It's very important to follow a doctor's instructions when taking antibiotics, as microbes can become resistant to them if not treated correctly. Even if you are feeling better, you should continue taking the full course because if the bacteria is still present in tiny amounts, it could come back and then the antibiotics won't work. This is also why it's important to not take antibiotics unless they have been prescribed specifically for your infection.
