Completing the Full Course of Treatment

Finish all your Amoxicillin, even if you feel better before the prescription runs out. Stopping early allows bacteria to survive and potentially return stronger, leading to a more difficult infection later.

Consistency is key. Take each 1000mg dose twice a day, at roughly 12-hour intervals. Use a timer or set reminders to maintain this schedule.

Missed Dose? Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. If you regularly forget doses, consider using a pill organizer or medication reminder app.

Store your medication correctly. Keep Amoxicillin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Check the label for specific instructions.

Contact your doctor if you experience severe side effects like a rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling. Report any unusual reactions immediately. Also contact them if symptoms don’t improve after several days of treatment.

Following these guidelines maximizes the treatment’s success. Your cooperation is vital for a complete recovery.
