Amoxicillin Capsules
Amoxicillin 250 mg and 500 mg capsules are antibiotics from
the penicillin group used to treat bacterial infections and, in
combination with other medications, to treat stomach ulcers.
Avoid taking Amoxicillin if you're allergic to amoxicillin,
penicillin, or have had allergic reactions to any antibiotics,
such as skin rashes or swelling. If unsure, consult your doctor
or pharmacist.
Warnings and Precautions
Have glandular fever (fever, sore throat, swollen
glands and extreme tiredness)
Have kidney problems
Blood and urine tests
If you are having:
• Urine tests (glucose) or blood tests for liver function
• Oestriol tests (used during pregnancy to check the baby is developing normally)
Tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking Amoxicillin Capsule. This is
because Amoxicillin Capsule can affect the results of these tests.

How to take Amoxicillin Capsules
Always take Amoxicillin Capsules exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, spacing
doses evenly at least 4 hours apart and swallowing them whole with water.
Dosages vary based on age, weight, and condition severity—children under 40 kg receive 40–90
mg/kg/day, while adults and children over 40 kg typically take 250–500 mg three times daily or up to
1 g twice daily, with higher doses for severe infections.
For specific conditions like urinary tract infections, Lyme disease, or stomach ulcers, your doctor will
adjust the dose accordingly. If you have kidney problems, your dose may be reduced.
Do not double up on missed doses, and complete the full course even if you feel better. Overuse
may lead to side effects like thrush or require monitoring of kidney, liver, and blood function. If you
take too much, consult a doctor immediately.
Possible Side Effects
Allergic reactions, the signs may include: skin itching or rash, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, body
or breathing difficulties. These can be serious and occasionally deaths have occurred.
Rash or pinpoint flat red round spots under the skin surface or bruising of the skin. This is due to
inflammation of blood vessel walls due to an allergic reaction. It can be associated with joint pain
(arthritis) and kidney problems.
A delayed allergic reaction can occur usually 7 to 12 days after having Amoxicillin Capsules, some signs
include: rashes, fever, joint pains and enlargement of the lymph nodes especially under the arms.
High temperature (fever), chills, a sore throat or other signs of an infection, or if you bruise easily.
These may be signs of a problem with your blood cells.
