Always follow your doctor’s instructions. They’ll specify the exact dosage and frequency. Typically, you’ll take one or two capsules at a time, several times a day. This usually means every 8 hours or every 12 hours.
Swallowing the Capsules
Take the capsules with a full glass of water. This helps them travel down your esophagus easily and prevents stomach upset. Avoid lying down for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication.
Timing Your Doses
Maintaining a consistent schedule is key. Use a pill organizer or set reminders to help you remember. 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 to make up for a missed one.
Duration of Treatment
Continue taking Amoxicillin for the full course prescribed by your doctor, Even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance and the infection may return.
