Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The correct dose depends on your specific infection and overall health. Typical dosages range from 250mg/125mg to 875mg/125mg twice daily.
Take amoxicillin/clavulanic acid with a full glass of water. You can take it with food or on an empty stomach; however, taking it with food may reduce stomach upset.
Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can lead to treatment failure and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses.
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. If these side effects are severe or persistent, contact your doctor.
Serious side effects are rare but possible. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat), severe skin rash, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Store amoxicillin/clavulanic acid at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of reach of children.
