Amoxicillin 500mg Capsules for Dental Infection

You should always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or pharmacist. The recommended dose of Amoxicillin Capsules for adults is up to 250mg-500mg three times a day, depending on the severity and type of infection.

In the cases of dental infections, antibiotics like amoxicillin can be used to reduce the infection so it can be treated and evaluated by a dentist. It is important to note that in these cases, you still need to see a dentist as soon as possible to determine the root cause of the infection.

Like all medicines, Amoxicillin Capsules can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. The most common side effects are:

• skin rash
• feeling sick (nausea)
• diarrhoea
• being sick (vomiting)

If you get any side effects, including any possible side effects not mentioned in the patient information leaflet, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Keep taking Amoxicillin Capsules for as long as your doctor has told you to, even if you feel better. You need every dose to help infection. If some bacteria survive, they can cause the infection to come back.

If you still feel unwell once you finish treatment, you should go back to see your doctor.

Do not take Amoxicillin Capsules if any of the following apply to you:

• you are allergic to amoxicillin, penicillin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
• you have ever had an allergic reaction to any antibiotic.

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Amoxicillin Capsules.

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking Amoxicillin Capsules.

As mentioned earlier, Amoxicillin Capsules can have side effects and some of the symptoms (such as allergic reactions, dizziness and convulsions) may make you unfit to drive. If you are feeling well, do not drive or operate machinery.
