How Does It Work?

Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibacterial agent. It acts by interfering with bacterial cell-wall synthesis, which can result in the destruction of susceptible bacteria. Its antibacterial activity depends on the susceptibility of the infecting organism and the appropriate use of the medicine.

Dosage Guidelines

The appropriate dose and duration depend on factors such as the infection being treated, patient age and weight, kidney function, and the susceptibility of the causative organism.

For dispersible tablets:

• Follow the approved product instructions for dispersion and administration.
• Use the exact dose prescribed or specified in the approved product information.
• Complete the recommended course unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
• Do not use leftover antibiotics for a different infection.

When Not to Use

Amoxicillin should generally not be used in individuals with:

• A known serious hypersensitivity to amoxicillin or other penicillin antibiotics
• A previous severe allergic reaction to beta-lactam antibiotics where use is contraindicated
• A condition for which the infecting organism is not susceptible to amoxicillin

The approved product information should be reviewed for complete contraindications.
