Adults typically take 250-500 mg of amoxicillin every 8 hours. This equates to 2.5-5 mL of the 250 mg/5 mL suspension. Always follow your doctor’s instructions; your prescribed dosage may differ based on your infection’s severity and your medical history.
For optimal absorption, take amoxicillin with a full glass of water. Consume it at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day. This ensures consistent levels of the medication in your bloodstream.
Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start to feel better. Stopping early can lead to treatment failure and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Contact your physician immediately if you experience any side effects like diarrhea, rash, or nausea.
Store the suspension in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Shake the bottle well before each dose to ensure even distribution of the medication.
Keep the medication out of reach of children. If you have any questions regarding dosage or administration, consult your doctor or pharmacist before making any changes to your treatment plan.
