How It Works

Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It binds to and inactivates enzymes responsible for cell wall formation, causing the bacteria to burst and die. This mechanism effectively stops the growth and spread of susceptible bacteria.

Dosage

The typical adult dose is 500mg taken every 8 hours or as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Dosage may vary depending on the type and severity of the infection. Always complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the course is finished.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash. Less common but more serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, and blood disorders. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Warning

Amoxil Beecham 500mg can cause allergic reactions, especially in people with a history of penicillin allergy. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Amoxil is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but always consult your healthcare provider before use.

Interaction

• May reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives
• Can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulants
• May interact with certain other antibiotics

Important Information

Take Amoxil Beecham 500mg exactly as prescribed. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medication early, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double up on doses. Store the capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. If symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment, consult your healthcare provider. Amoxil should only be used to treat bacterial infections; it is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.
