Can Double Dose Of Antibiotics Be Taken For Pain Due To Cystistis?
Hello, I have just come down with cystitis - I have been advised by GP s in the past to take a double dose of anti-biotics straight up and then normal dosage until course is finished after then. I took 500mg of cefalexin at 3pm - would it be safe to take another 500mg now to knock it on the head, as im in some pain. thank you Catherine

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.
!000 mg of cephalaxin not going to harm you in a day. This is the normal dose and it is unlikely to have side effects.
In my view follow your doctor instruction. It will hopefully cure your cystitis.
