Always follow your doctor’s prescription. Never adjust the dosage yourself.
Use the provided measuring device (oral syringe or spoon) to ensure accurate measurement. Do not use household spoons.
Administer the amoxicillin elixir at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day, usually every 8 or 12 hours, as directed by your physician. This ensures consistent drug levels in the body.
Shake the bottle well before each use to evenly distribute the medication. This prevents inaccurate dosing.
Give the dose with a small amount of food or drink, if needed, to improve taste and tolerability. Avoid mixing with acidic drinks like orange juice.
For children, it’s often best to administer the medication while they are sitting upright to prevent choking. Always supervise them during and immediately after administration.
Store the amoxicillin elixir according to the label instructions, typically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Discard any unused medication after the expiry date.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
If you notice any side effects, such as rash, nausea, or diarrhea, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor can assess the situation and advise on how to proceed.
