Amoxicillin | Brown & Burk
                     Amoxicillin Capsules
Amoxicillin 250 mg and 500 mg capsules are 
antibiotics from the penicillin group used to treat 
bacterial infections and, in combination with 
other medications, to treat stomach ulcers. Avoid 
taking Amoxicillin if you're allergic to 
amoxicillin, penicillin, or have had allergic 
reactions to any antibiotics, such as skin rashes 
or swelling. If unsure, consult your doctor or 
pharmacist.
Warnings and Precautions
• Have glandular fever (fever, sore throat, 
swollen glands and extreme tiredness)
• Have kidney problems
Blood and urine tests 
If you are having: 
• Urine tests (glucose) or blood tests for liver function 
• Oestriol tests (used during pregnancy to check the baby is 
developing normally) 
Tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking Amoxicillin 
Capsule. This is because Amoxicillin Capsule can affect the 4
results of these tests.
How to take Amoxicillin Capsules
• Always take Amoxicillin Capsules exactly as directed by your doctor or 
pharmacist, spacing doses evenly at least 4 hours apart and swallowing 
them whole with water.
• Dosages vary based on age, weight, and condition severity—children under 40 
kg receive 40–90 mg/kg/day, while adults and children over 40 kg typically take 
250–500 mg three times daily or up to 1 g twice daily, with higher doses for 
severe infections.
• For specific conditions like urinary tract infections, Lyme disease, or stomach 
ulcers, your doctor will adjust the dose accordingly. If you have kidney problems, 
your dose may be reduced.
• Do not double up on missed doses, and complete the full course even if you feel 
better. Overuse may lead to side effects like thrush or require monitoring of 
kidney, liver, and blood function. If you take too much, consult a doctor 
immediately.
Possible Side Effects
• Allergic reactions, the signs may include: skin itching or rash, swelling of the 
face, lips, tongue, body or breathing difficulties. These can be serious and 
occasionally deaths have occurred.
• Rash or pinpoint flat red round spots under the skin surface or bruising of the skin. 
This is due to inflammation of blood vessel walls due to an allergic reaction. It can 
be associated with joint pain (arthritis) and kidney problems.
• A delayed allergic reaction can occur usually 7 to 12 days after having Amoxicillin 
Capsules, some signs include: rashes, fever, joint pains and enlargement of the 
lymph nodes especially under the arms.
• High temperature (fever), chills, a sore throat or other signs of an infection, or if 
you bruise easily. These may be signs of a problem with your blood cells.
