Always follow your doctor’s prescription. The recommended dose for adults is typically one 250mg tablet twice daily, taken with food to minimize stomach upset. Children’s dosages vary significantly based on weight and age; your doctor will calculate the appropriate amount. Never exceed the prescribed dose.
Swallowing the Tablet
Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. If you have difficulty swallowing, discuss alternative administration methods with your pharmacist or doctor. They may suggest a liquid formulation.
Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. Consistent medication is key to effective treatment. Contact your doctor if you miss multiple doses.
Storage
Store Augmentin 250mg tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Check the expiration date on the packaging and discard any expired medication properly.
