Amoxil is a widely used antibiotic that is effective in treating a broad range of bacterial infections. It is used for treating infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract as well as pneumonia, gonorrhea and bronchitis.
How it works
Amoxil is a penicillin antibiotic. It penetrates the bacterial cell wall and damages it thereby helping kill the bacteria.
Taking Amoxil & the right dosage
Amoxil may be taken with or without a meal.
The extended release pill should not be crushed or chewed. It must be swallowed whole.
Amoxil must be consumed for the complete prescribed time duration. You may notice that your symptoms may improve before the prescribed duration is over or the infection is cleared. But do not alter the dose or the schedule without consulting your doctor.
Storage
Store Amoxil in a cool and dark place at room temperature. Do not store it in a place where it can get exposed to direct sunlight or moisture.
Keep it away from children and pets.
Safety Information/ Warning Precautions
Before using Amoxil, you should consult a physician and discuss about your medical history. If you have allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics like Omnicef or Kelfex, then inform your doctor about it.
Amoxil may not be suitable for you if:
You have asthma, liver or kidney disease
You are allergic to amoxicillin or to any other penicillin antibiotic
You have blood cell problems like mononucleosis (also called "mono")
