I was supposed to take a pill this morning at 10, but didn't remember until 5 pm. Can I still take my next pill tonight at 10 as usual?

Yes, but do not take the one you should have taken at 10 am also.

If you are taking it once a day, you should skip today and just get it tomorrow morning. If you are taking it twice a day at ten and ten, you should only take it once today. Do not take it at 5 and again at 10. Some antibiotics are so powerful that double dosing like that can affect the "healthy" basteria of your body and lead to additional complications.

Yes, you may continue to take the next pill at the scheduled time. Just watch carefully and take them on schedule...no harm.

YES! Try as hard as you can to take the antibiotics as prescribed. If you miss a dose, continue on as planned, as though you didn't miss it. It's better to miss one dose and keep on schedule than to screw up the whole pattern.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I MISS A DOSE OF THE ANTIBIOTIC?
If you miss a dose of the antibiotic, take it as soon as possible. Then go back to your regular dosing schedule. However, don't double up doses.

Yes, with antibiotics you should not skip or change the times you take your medication.

You can. But you've messed with the idea of keeping it in your system. I would call a pharmacy and ask. They may tell you to take one now and right before bed.
