Amoxicillin pills typically appear as capsules or tablets. Capsules often have a slightly oblong shape and a hard gelatin shell, usually white or light yellow. The capsule’s size varies depending on the dosage. Expect to see a distinct imprint or markings on the shell for identification.
Tablets, conversely, tend to be round or oval and may exhibit a scored surface for easier breaking into smaller doses. Their color can range from white to light yellow or even slightly off-white, and they often bear markings or logos specific to the manufacturer.
Slight variations in color are normal and shouldn’t raise concern. However, significant discoloration or unusual texture warrants a check with your pharmacist. Always verify the pill’s identification using the markings against your prescription details.
Remember that the size and shape may vary slightly between manufacturers and dosages. Consult the labeling provided with your prescription for accurate information about your specific amoxicillin medication.
