Always shake the bottle well before each use to mix the medicine evenly. Use the measuring device provided with your prescription; don’t use a household spoon. The accuracy of the dose depends on this.
Dosage and Frequency
Administer the prescribed dose at the intervals specified by your doctor. Commonly, this is twice daily, but always follow your doctor’s instructions. Adjust the amount according to your child’s weight as directed on the label or by your physician.
Administering the Medication
Give the suspension directly into your child’s mouth. For infants, you may gently squirt the medicine into the side of their cheek to prevent choking. If your child refuses to take the medication directly, you may mix it with a small amount of applesauce, pudding, or juice, but never with dairy products like milk.
Storage
Store the A45 amoxicillin suspension in the refrigerator. Discard any unused portion after the expiration date printed on the label. Never freeze the medicine.
Important Considerations
| Missed Dose | Give the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next dose. Never double the dose. |
| Allergic Reaction | Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. |
| Complete the Course | Finish the entire course of amoxicillin, even if your child feels better, to prevent the infection from returning. |
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or worsen.
