Hello mate!

Thank you very much for your respond!
It is an antibiotic against an inflammation. The doctor gave me enough for a week until I have to go back. So guess what! I counted the tablets:) 24 pieces. So it is sorted!

But thx again anyway!

I mean there were 3 extra pieces attached to the box by the pharmacist. So it makes it clear:)

Dear Gabor,
Well, follow the course carefully;
First day - Take two tablets at a time in the morning hours ( 6 am).
- Take remaining 3 tablets with 5 hours gap in between each tablet ( Total 5 tabs on the
first day)
Second day - Three tablets per day x 6 days = 18 tabs + 5 tabs on day 1 = 23. Remaining 1 tablet

I would ask the pharmacist -- it's not clear to me whether you take four tablets on the first day or five.

I don't think this kind of loose medication instruction will ever be printed on the pill bottle in the U.S.. However, given the wording, I would take it as: take two pills (or tablets) as the first dosage, then take one three times a day for the rest of the treatment.

It was printed in the UK, and not by the manufacturer, but (still official) by the pharmacy. (And the label was attached to the front of the box.) So it's weird. I'll go back tomorrow probably to ask them. At least, in the future might won't happen to others.
