Adults usually take one 500mg tablet of amoxicillin every 8 hours or two 500mg tablets every 12 hours. This equates to a total daily dose of 1500mg to 2000mg, depending on your physician’s prescription.
The precise dosage depends on the severity of your infection and your overall health. Your doctor will determine the best course of treatment for you. They may adjust the dosage or frequency based on your individual needs.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better before you finish all the medication. This prevents the bacteria from becoming resistant.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double a dose to make up for a missed one.
Store amoxicillin at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
