Taking Amoxil

Published by admin on February 5, 2008

This medicine should be taken at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night to keep the level in the blood high enough to treat the infection. This antibiotic should be avoided in people with suspected grandular fever, acute, chronic lymphoid leukaemia, or cytomegalovirus (CMV), as it commonly causes a rash in people with these conditions. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, it is important that you finish the prescribed course of this antibiotic medicine, even if you feel better or it seems the infection has cleared up. Stopping the course early increases the chance that the infection will come back and that the bacteria will grow resistant to the antibiotic. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can sometimes cause diarrhoea. If you experience diarrhoea that becomes severe or persistent or contains blood or mucus, either during or after taking this medicine, you should consult your doctor immediately.
