Take this medicine by mouth, usually every 8 or 12 hours, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Shake the bottle well before each dose. Measure the liquid with a special measuring spoon or device. Do not use a household spoon. Complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve.

Amoxicillin is a bactericidal antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam class. It inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to lysis and death of the bacterial cell.

• Hypersensitivity to amoxicillin or any other penicillin antibiotic.
• History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any other beta-lactam agent (e.g., cephalosporins, carbapenems, monobactams).

Store the dry powder at room temperature (below 30°C). Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight. After reconstitution, store the suspension in a refrigerator (2-8°C). Do not freeze.

Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and electrolyte imbalance. In severe cases, renal failure and convulsions may occur. Treatment is generally supportive and symptomatic. Gastric lavage may be considered in recent ingestions. Hemodialysis can remove amoxicillin from circulation.

Amoxicillin is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy (Category B). Small amounts are excreted in breast milk, but it is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
