I went to the doctor last week and found out I had strep throat. She perscribed amoxicillin twice a day for 10 days. I lost the pill bottle Tuesday afternoon, and just found it (Thursday afternoon). Is it still safe for me to finish the antibiotics, having missed four doses (Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, Wednesday night, Thursday morning)? Thanks

Yes, you should still be fine. The effect of the pills may not have as much as if you would have followed the prescribed instructions but yes, it is still safe.

Yes. And it's important to always finish the round of anti-biotics, even if there's gaps in the day in which you took them, otherwise it can create a super-bug and make you very ill.

Yes you can continue until you complete the ten days.
