I am taking Penicillin VK 500 mg for a toothache that started fri am and went full ache after flying fri night . The Dentist put me on above meds and Advil 600mg every 4 hr until mon 830 am appointment. Very little relief on and off (top rear Tooth) Does it is help to double up the VK Dosage and does it hurt to take advil and VK at same time (265LBS ,61YRS) Can i drink a couple of Glasses of Red Wine or Beer later?
Hi . You are advised not to increase the dose of the meds you are taking . Instead you can switch to more effective antibiotics like tab CEA Chat Doctor. . Plz avoid alcohol during this period. However if you are NT able 2 switch to new medicines then you should consult your dentist asap.
