HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The adult dose of this medication is one teaspoon or tablet every 8 to 12 hours. Unless the spoon that you used was very large , though it may have exceeded the 1 tsp advised, it should not be over this amount by a dangerous amount.
Tools to accurately assess the doses of medication are available at local pharmacies at a small cost.
I hope this helps
