Some penicillins, notably penicillin V, should be taken on an empty stomach, but others may be taken with food. Check package directions or ask the physician or pharmacist for instructions.

How many times you will take penicillin in one day cause you have skin rashes?

You should not take penicillin for skin rashes. No antibiotic should be taken without the advice of the doctor. When your doctor prescribe you penicillin, he will invariably advice the dose and frequency also. Even a single dose of penicillin can give you allergic rash. When you are allergic to penicillin, you must mention the same thing, every time you visit the doctor. Repeat the same thing whenever he will prepare the injection for you or write down the prescription. Do not worry, even if that may irritate him.
