You should take an Amoxicillin capsule every 12 hours (twice a day) or every 8 hours (three times a day) with or without food, depending on the type of infection that you have. Swallow the capsules whole with a full glass of water; do not chew or crush them. Drink plenty of fluids while using the capsules unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Take it at the same time every day as prescribed by your doctor. Be sure to follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Do not take more or less your prescribed dose of Amoxicillin or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
The recommended dosages of Amoxicillin capsules depend on the severity of the infection, the patient’s age, and weight. For adults, the usual dose is 250mg to 500mg, taken 3 times a day, every 8 hours or every 12 hours, depending on the severity of the infection. The dose may be lower for children, typically at 25 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, divided and given every 8 hours. However, the exact dose prescribed by a doctor may vary, so consult with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual case.
