Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Typical adult dosages range from 250mg to 500mg, taken every 8 or 12 hours. The frequency and duration depend on your specific infection.
For children, dosage is determined by weight and the type of infection. Consult your pediatrician for the correct dosage.
Take capsules with a full glass of water. You may take them with or without food, though taking them with food can minimize stomach upset.
Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you feel better before the prescription ends. Stopping early can lead to treatment failure and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose.
Store capsules at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Inform your doctor about any allergies or other medications you are taking. This includes over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
Immediately contact your doctor if you experience any severe side effects, such as severe rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
