Clostridium the -associated diarrhoea (CDAD) risk has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, discontinue the drug immediately and begin appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C difficile, and surgical evaluation.

Do not administer amoxicillin to patients with infectious mononucleosis or mono because of the risk of development of red skin rash.

Do not use the drug in the absence of a proven or suspected bacterial infection because of a risk of development of drug-resistant bacteria.

If Super-infections is suspected, discontinue immediately and begin appropriate treatment.

Chewable tablets contain aspartame, which contains phenylalanine.

Use with caution in patients with allergy to cephalosporins, carbapenems.

Endocarditis prophylaxis: use for only high-risk patients, as per recent AHA guidelines.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Use of amoxicillin during pregnancy is acceptable.

Use with caution when lactating as the Amoxicillin is excreted in breast milk.

Special considerations:

• Instruct patients to take a complete dose of medication to avoid drug resistance.
• Advise patients not to share the medication.
• Pediatric dose : calculate accurate doses
• Advise patient to report the signs of super-infection
• Advice the female patients to use an alternate or additional Non-hormonal method of contraception during therapy with amoxicillin and until next menstrual period as the drug decreases the efficiency of oral contraceptives.
• Report diarrhoea immediately to the physician while taking amoxicillin

• around the clock and to finish the drug dose completely as directed by the physician, even if feeling better
• by using measuring device supplied by pharmacy or with product, not with household items.

PATIENT EDUCATION ON AMOXICILLIN

Why you are taking the drug: Amoxicillin is a drug which can kill or destroy the bacteria causing infection. It is penicillin group of antibiotic which acts by inhibiting the cell wall synthesis of bacteria.

Indications for the drug: or when to use the drug:

Skin and skin structure infections like ulcers

Otitis media

Sinusitis

Respiratory infections like pharyngitis, tonsillitis

Genitourinary infections

Prevention or management of Endocarditis (inflammation of the endocardium or the inner wall of the heart)

Management of gastric ulcer diseases

Special precautions

Report the side effects like allergies- rashes, urticaria, seizures, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, vaginal infections or any new infections immediately to the physician.

Use amoxicillin with caution with other drugs like amiloride, azithromycin, aztreonam, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and pyridoxine.

Special instructions:

Inform the physician well in advance if you are allergic to penicillin’s and about the drugs used currently.

Take amoxicillin by mouth with or without food and as directed by your doctor, usually every 8 or 12 hours. Make sure to use the clock round the clock without missing the doses as the antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. A reminder can be set if a chance to miss the dose is there.

Drink plenty of fluids while taking medication unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if you feel better after few days. Stopping the medication before the prescribed dose may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection or the bacteria may become resistant to the drug.

Contact your doctor if the condition persists or worsens.

Report the signs of super-infection like furry overgrowth on the tongue, vaginal itching or discharge, loose or foul-smelling stools and allergy (rashes, urticaria).

Notify the healthcare professional if symptoms do not improve.

Female patients taking oral contraceptives must use an alternate or additional Non-hormonal method of contraception during therapy with amoxicillin and until next menstrual period as the drug can interact with and reduce the efficiency of oral contraceptives.
