Mom took too much antibiotics, need advice fast

My mom took one of her friends Biaxins, I told her not to take biaxin because she isnt really that sick and she doesnt need it, but she did anyways. She realized that the medicine was 3 years old, so she went to the pharmacist and got some amoxcillin. She forgot she took the biaxin at 4pm and took an amoxcillin at 5pm. She realized her mistake and she is freakin out. Im about to ask her if she ate food before she took the antibiotic, but some advice would be appreciated.

I don't think large doses of antibiotics will do much harm.
Call poison control, or have her contact her physician if you are worried.

Bad advice unless you have the data sheet of the specific antibiotic that she took. Unless you are a pharmacist or a doctor never advise to puke something up that you have really no clue about. Some things coming back up can do a lot of damage. Im not saying these anti-biotics are going to do this. More than likely they wont. But it is still not a good thing to tell people to just vomit stuff up unless you have first hand knowledge of the substance they took.
