Also, shame on you for not finishing your antibiotic prescription. Always finish your antibiotic! If you don't finish, you run the risk of a resurgence of the infection, except this time with bacteria resistant to the antibiotic you failed to finish.
If you really feel like you need a private stash of antibiotic, buy amoxicillin for aquarium fish instead of saving portions of old prescriptions. And make sure you weigh yourself and appropriately calculate the mg/kg dosage before using it.
(I understand that this is hypocritical to shame someone for not finishing a prescription antibiotic and also to recommend misuse of veterinary antibiotics.)
