Karen, in the UK the maximum dosage is usually 250mg two or three times a day.  Here they hand out antibiotics at high dosage as a matter of course.

You really shouldn't buy medication without it being prescribed, if you over use anti biotics especially Penicillin you can develop resistant and they won't work when you really need them.

that is the dosage I was prescribed Marrgie and I kind of knew that 5 days would not be enough... fingers crossed by carrying on a few more days with the ones from Turkey it will clear up, meant to be having an operation one week today so really important that I get my chest cleared up but at the moment the surgery is looking unlikely :(

Usual Adult Dose for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
250 to 500 mg orally 3 times a day for 7 to 10 days; alternatively, 500 to 875 mg orally twice a day may be administered

Re Amoxil, Dose  does vary according to the problem, but you would not usually be prescribed 1g for common ailments, 500mg should be taken 8 hourly.
