Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin is utilized for a diverse range of bacterial infections. It belongs to the penicillin-type antibiotics and functions by halting bacterial growth. It is crucial to note that this antibiotic is effective solely against bacterial infections and is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu. Misusing antibiotics unnecessarily can lead to reduced effectiveness in treating future infections. Additionally, Amoxicillin is combined with other medications to address stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by the bacterium H. pylori and to prevent their recurrence.
How to use amoxicillin
Take this medication orally with or without food as instructed by your healthcare provider, typically every 8 or 12 hours. The dosage depends on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment.
Stay well-hydrated while using this medication unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
For optimal results, take this antibiotic at consistent intervals throughout the day. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) daily.
Continue taking this medication until you’ve completed the full prescribed course, even if your symptoms improve within a few days. Stopping the medication prematurely could lead to the infection recurring.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
