Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. The recommended dosage depends on your age, weight, and the specific infection being treated. Typical adult dosages range from 250mg to 500mg three times daily, while children’s dosages are significantly lower and determined by weight.
Take amoxicillin and potassium tablets with a full glass of water. You can take them with food or on an empty stomach, although taking them with food might reduce stomach upset. Maintain consistent timing between doses; for example, take doses at roughly 8 AM, 2 PM, and 8 PM.
The duration of treatment varies depending on your condition. Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better before the prescribed time. Stopping early can lead to recurring infections or antibiotic resistance.
250mg Tablets | 250-500mg three times daily | Weight-based; typically lower than adult dose. |
500mg Tablets | 500mg three times daily | Weight-based; typically lower than adult dose. |
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. If you experience any adverse reactions such as allergic reactions (rash, hives, itching, swelling), severe diarrhea, or difficulty breathing, stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention.
Store amoxicillin and potassium tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children.
