Amoxicillin TID??

[mzsuccess]

Trying to figure out how to schedule patient's medication.

I know amoxicillin should have 8 hour gap but is it ok t schedule

0700 1400 2100?

If the order was q 8hr, the schedule could be, for example, 6a-2p-10p, 7a-3p-11p, 8a-4p-12a.

TID doesn't necessarily mean q 8hr. When I worked in the hospital, q 8hr drugs were scheduled q 8hr and TID meds were scheduled 8a-2p-8p. I think your proposed schedule is perfectly fine for a TID med.
