When prescribed amoxicillin 3x a day, is
it while I am awake or do I have to space
it out during a 24 hour period (including
waking up to take it)?

Amoxicillin is taken 3 times each 24
hours, which means during both the day and
the night. You can create such an
arrangement, however, so that you take a
pill right before you go to sleep so that
you won’t need to wake up during the
night to take a pill.
