Look for “Amoxicillin” itself – it’s usually clearly printed on the prescription. The dosage will also be listed, typically in milligrams (mg). For example, you might see “Amoxicillin 500mg.”
Brand names vary. Common examples include Amoxil, Moxilin, and Trimox. Your prescription might use one of these instead of the generic name.
Check the form. The prescription will specify if it’s capsules, tablets, liquid suspension, or another form. This detail is important for proper administration.
Dosage instructions will be detailed. The prescription will indicate how many milligrams to take, how often, and for how long. Carefully review these instructions before taking the medication.
If you have any doubt about the prescription’s contents, Contact your pharmacist or doctor immediately for clarification. They can verify the medication and its details.
