How important is penicillin dose timing?

Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Oct 24, 2023.

I have an abscess around the roots of a broken tooth and was prescribed Penicillin VK 500mg 4 times a day, so every 6 hours. Do you think its out of the question to take it every 4 hours, so that I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to take them? Or is it an issue of keeping the doses timed so that the infection doesn't get worse if I don't keep it at consistent intervals throughout the night? Thanks for any input.
