A patient who has been prescribed amoxicillin (Amoxil) 250 mg orally every 8 hours asks if a higher dose of the drug just once a day can be taken instead. What is your best response?
 
  a. Taking this drug every 8 hours helps keep the blood level of the drug high enough to affect the bacteria.
  b. Giving the drug at regular intervals over a 24-hour period helps prevent side effects.
  c. Let me contact your prescriber and ask whether the drug can be given once a day.
  d. When given once a day, the dose is higher so allergic reactions are more common.
