... medicine. Some say it's breakfast lunch and dinner others say it's in a 24-hour period. So would I take it at 8am - 4pm and 12pm? I'm totally confused- please help! Somebody just tell me what time a day to take it? Thank you.
I was prescribed 500 mg of metronidazole 3 times a day. What would be the best times to take this...
