Amoxil (amoxicillin) is a prescription penicillin-like antibiotic intended for the treatment of such health conditions as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, bronchitis, as well as infections of the throat, nose, ears and skin. This medicine can be taken every 8 or 12 hours depending on the patient’s dosage and health condition. Stopping Amoxil too soon can make bacteria resistant to antibiotics and cause a relapse of infection that will be very difficult to treat. If you have or ever had kidney disease, any allergies, hay fever, asthma, phenylketonuria or hives, report these health conditions to your health care provider as this may be important for prescribing you a certain dosage of the drug.
Some of the side effects you may experience when taking Amoxil include diarrhea, vomiting, and upset stomach. Although these side effects are most likely to go away on their own, in some cases they can get worse and interfere with your everyday activities. In that case talk to your doctor and your dose may be adjusted. Do not adjust the dose yourself to avoid unpleasant health effects. If you have any symptoms of infection even when you have finished Amoxil call your health care provider to learn what you are supposed to do.
