They are antibiotics. They won't kill you but will make you very sick in the stomach.

Hi,
Excess of any good thing is bad. This is a overdosage in case of overdosage, discontinue medication, treat symptomatically, and institute supportive measures as required. If the overdosage is very recent and there is no contraindication, an attempt at emesis or other means of removal of drug from the stomach may be performed.
A prospective study at a poison-control center suggested that overdosages of less than 250 mg/kg of amoxicillin are not associated with significant clinical symptoms and do not require gastric emptying.3
Interstitial nephritis resulting in oliguric renal failure has been reported in a small number of patients after overdosage with amoxicillin.
Crystalluria, in some cases leading to renal failure, has also been reported after amoxicillin overdosage in adult and pediatric patients. In case of overdosage, adequate fluid intake and diuresis should be maintained to reduce the risk of amoxicillin crystalluria.
Renal impairment appears to be reversible with cessation of drug administration. High blood levels may occur more readily in patients with impaired renal function because of decreased renal clearance of amoxicillin. Amoxicillin may be removed from circulation by hemodialysis.

The best place to answer these sorts of questions in the US is the Poison Control Center. It's staffed by trained people whose only job is to answer questions like this. The number is 1-800-222-1222 or check in your local phone book.
They'll advise you whether a given exposure is,
1. Nothing to worry about or...
2. Something to worry about but you can take care of it at home or...
3. Something that you need to go to the ER for.

amoxicillin are antibiotics therefore should be taken as prescribed, you wount die but ,you will have major side effects that would rather be worse than the initial condition,so watch out when taking in antibiotics,they are not just another dose of painkillers.plus they really hurt the stomach.
