Take Amoxicillin 500mg with a full glass of water. Ideally, you should take it one hour before or two hours after a meal. This timing helps maximize absorption.
Absorption and Food
Food can slightly reduce the amount of amoxicillin your body absorbs. Taking it on an empty stomach ensures you get the most benefit from each dose.
Exceptions and Practical Advice
If taking the medication on an empty stomach causes upset stomach, you can try taking it with a small snack. However, avoid high-fat foods, as they can significantly impact absorption.
Dosage Schedule and Consistency
| Morning | 1 tablet | With a full glass of water, 1 hour before or 2 hours after breakfast. |
| Evening | 1 tablet | With a full glass of water, 1 hour before or 2 hours after dinner. |
If You Miss a Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. Maintain consistent timing for best results. Contact your doctor if you have any concerns.
Note on Interactions
Certain medications and foods can interact with amoxicillin. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all other medications you are taking and any potential dietary restrictions or allergies.
