A 1750 mg dose of amoxicillin is a higher-than-usual dosage. Therefore, carefully monitor yourself for potential side effects. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. Less frequent, but more serious, reactions include allergic reactions (rash, hives, swelling, difficulty breathing), and changes in blood counts.
Allergic Reactions
Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic. Penicillin allergies can be severe, even life-threatening. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention. This includes symptoms like skin rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and difficulty breathing.
Gastrointestinal Issues
High doses of amoxicillin can sometimes cause significant digestive problems. If you develop severe diarrhea, consider taking probiotics to support gut health. Dehydration is a concern with prolonged or severe diarrhea; drink plenty of fluids. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Other Precautions
Before taking this high dosage, inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially kidney problems. Amoxicillin is processed by your kidneys, so a higher dose may place extra strain. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Avoid taking this medication without consulting a medical professional. This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
