Should I take AMOXICILLIN, 12hrs or 8 hrs once?

Resolved question:
I am a 27-year-old female (120 lbs.). I am getting a root canal and have been prescribed 875 mg Amoxicillin tablets which my prescription says to take every 8 hours. There are 21 tablets. I just took one and then looked up the normal dosages. for Amoxicillin. Everywhere I've looked online I have seen it says that 875 mg. should be taken every 12 hours. Is 875 mg. every 8 hrs. too much and could that prescription have been a mistake? Is it ok if I take it every 12 hrs instead of every 8 since I am worried?
