Understanding Amoxicillin Prescriptions

Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Dosage depends on your infection’s severity and your age.

Complete the entire course, even if you feel better sooner. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance.

Store amoxicillin properly. Check the label for specific instructions, usually refrigeration is recommended.

Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Interactions can occur.

Report any side effects immediately to your physician. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and rash. Severe reactions are rare but require immediate attention.

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, effective against bacterial infections. It’s not effective against viruses. Your doctor will determine if it’s the right treatment for your condition.

Never share your prescription. Antibiotics are prescribed based on individual needs and medical history.

If you have allergies to penicillin or other similar antibiotics, tell your doctor before starting amoxicillin. A severe allergic reaction is a serious medical emergency.

Follow up with your doctor as advised for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and addressing any complications.
