What is Amoxicillin?

Amoxicillin is a penicillin-based antibiotic that is used to treat certain types of bacterial infections.

What is Amoxicillin used for?

Amoxicillin is used to treat infections of the respiratory system, infections of the urinary tract, infections of the ear and dental abscesses. Amoxicillin may also be prescribed in order to prevent an infection from occurring. It is sometimes used to treat Helicobacter pylori which is a bacterium that is believed to cause stomach ulcers.

Before taking Amoxicillin

You should let your doctor or your pharmacist know if you:

• Are or think you may be pregnant or if you are breast-feeding.
• Think you have glandular fever.
• Have kidney problems.
• Are taking any other medication. This includes any medicines you are taking without a prescription or any herbal or complementary medicines.
• Have any allergies or if you have ever had an allergic reaction to any sort of medication. This is particularly important if you have ever had any sort of reaction to a penicillin-based antibiotic.

How to take amoxicillin

Before you start taking amoxiciilin it is important that you read the printed information leaflet inside the packet.

Take amoxicillin as your doctor advises you. Your doctor or your pharmacist will tell you the dose you should be taking and when you should be taking it. This information should also be on packet itself. Space out doses throughout the day.

It is fine to take amoxicillin before or after food.

It is vital that you complete your whole course of amoxicillin, even if you feel that the infection has cleared up. This will prevent the infection from coming back.

A course of amoxicillin usually lasts no longer than two weeks. If, after this time, you still feel unwell, contact your doctor.

If you forget to take a dose, take one as soon as you remember, but do not take two doses at the same time.

Side effects of Amoxicillin

Like most medicines, Amoxicillin can cause side effects. These normally improve as your body gets used to the medicine. If you have persistent side effects you should talk to either your doctor or your pharmacist.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and skin rashes.

If you develop an itchy rash, a swollen face or mouth or have any difficulty breathing, this may be a sign that you are allergic to amoxicillin. If any of these symptoms occur, stop taking the medication and contact your doctor or your pharmacist, or in the case of an emergency go to the A&E department of your local hospital.

How to store Amoxicillin

Keep Amoxicillin out of the reach of children and store it in a dry and cool place away from direct heat and light.
