Take it every 12 hours,,,, and make SURE you don't miss a dose,,, you'll only have to get up early for a few days,,, you don't want to let it go,, strep can turn into something really bad if you don't treat it with a full course of antibiotics,,, it is important to have maintain a steady level of it in your bloodstream to be effective

take it first thing in the AM, not before 5 AM. If you don't wake up till 7, 8 or 9, that is OK. Your sleep is just as important as the medicaiton.
Then, in the evening, figure out a schedule where you are awake that works 8 am and 8 pm.? 9 am and 9 PM.? Take it at the time that will be 12 hours before you take it the next morning.
