Amoxicillin dosage depends entirely on your weight, age, and the specific infection being treated. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Never adjust your dosage without consulting them.
Typical Adult Dosage: A common dose is 250-500 mg every 8 hours, or 875 mg twice daily. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate dose and frequency for your individual needs.
Children’s Dosage: Pediatric dosages are calculated based on weight. Your doctor will provide a precise dosage regimen for your child.
Administration: Amoxicillin is usually taken orally, with or without food. Take the medication with a full glass of water. Avoid crushing or chewing tablets unless specifically instructed by your physician. If using liquid suspension, shake well before each dose and use a measuring device for accurate measurement.
Duration of Treatment: Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance and the infection may return.
