A child who takes 5 ml of the 250mg/5ml dose, for example, is receiving 250 mg of amoxicillin. The recommended pediatric dosage varies from 25 mg/kg per day to 45 mg/kg per day, depending on the underlying infection, according to Rx List. The suspension should be shaken well and measured with a marked measuring spoon to ensure that the right dose is given. Regular silverware should not be used to measure medication doses, warns Drugs.com.
prescribed the triple therapy which consists of Lanzoprazole 30 mg, Amoxicillin 500 mg and clarithromycin 500 mg. The problem is that she told me to take only one pill of amoxicillin (500mg) every 12 hours but it was supposed to be two pills (1g) according to FDA and other resources. I am very concerned because I know that this bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics. What should I do?, How long do I wait before I take another test to see if the bacteria is gone or not?
Hi there,
Amoxicillin in the preferred antibiotic in dental infections. The usual adult dosage is 500 mg given every 6-8 hrly.The dosage may be increased or decreased depending on the severity of infection. If you are having a dental infection or cavity it is best to get it treated by a root canal before the problem aggravates. See a dentist.
Take care and regards!
I just got done with a prescription for 875 mg of amoxicillin twice a day for 10 days. Will that cure chlamydia and gonorrhea??

Below is copied from Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines for Lyme (posted on the ILADS website), including an entry on doxycycline [aka doxy] dosage:
"Adults: 200 mg bid [meaning twice a day] with food; doses of up to 600 mg daily are often needed, as doxycycline is only effective at high blood levels." So perhaps your doc's doses are on the light side -- I'd ask him, but sometimes docs get huffy. I'd ask him anyway. It's your health we're talking about.

What is the correct dosage for a 41 year old man weighing 210 lbs?
thank you.
Me and my boyfriend just had sex the day I started my dosage of amoxicillin 500 mg which I'm suppose to take 3 a day before getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I am on Birth control and have been for awhile but I had no idea that it lowered the effectiveness until it was too late. Could I be pregnant? What's the chance of it? please be specific.
I have had a sinus infection for 9 months and on my third antibiotic treatment as well as a root canal. I am 6 days into my 875 mg amoxicillin treatment and am extremely tired and have serious pain in my knees and ankles. I don't know if these symptoms are due to the antibiotics or the infection and I'm worried.
She prescribed me amoxicillin, in one does totalling 2000 mg. I am very concerned about this. Last time I went to the dentist they gave me antibiotics over 2 weeks. She wants to give 4 500mg pills taken at once and hour before my procedure. Not only am I afraid of the dosage, but endocarditis. Is this normal to take this much at once? Now I do fear this will mess with my heart.
Why did you only take 3 per day? what was the dosage - are you sure that since you only took 3/4 of the dose per day, the condition you had has been completely eliminated? You should talk to your pharmacist or doctor for the correct solution to dispose of the rest of the pills.
Today I took my 15 month old son to one of his regular checkups. His doctor had noticed some fluid in his left ear and said he had a small infection. I told her he had a cold and some congestion but I didn't know about his ear. She prescribed him Amoxicillin for his ear and told me something about the dosage. All I remember her saying is something about 1 tsp.
My aunts a nurse and she told me 200 mg per every 50 lbs body weight is an appropriate dosage for OTC things like Tylenol.
However, do not over dose the antibiotics. They take time to work and your not helping by taking extra. Also, talk to your doctor about the extra strength Tylenol cause my doctor told me only regular Tylenol during pregnancy.

I was able to see a dentist today and after an x-ray he determined extraction would be the best option for me since the decay extends under the bone.
t say anything about a little glob of filling material protruding from the tip of one of the roots, but he did recommend doing another root canal. He put me on Amoxicillin 500 mg three times a day for 7 days prior to the second operation and then added another seven days of the same dosage of Amoxicillin after. After the second procedure, he did another x-ray, and I noticed that there was a larger glob of filling material protruding from the tip of the root.

I pretty much been in extreme tooth pain and to add to that every time i take this i get pretty bad stomach pain i describe it as the empty feeling you have when you don't eat anything but x10, so i did some searching and i could not find anywhere saying 875mg every 8 hours i only saw every 12 hours.
My dentist prescribed me 500 mg of amoxicillin every 6 hours for a gum infection. It's been a few days now and Ifeel better and I want to resume my workout schedule. Is strenuous exercise contraindicated when taking amoxicillin?Also, is sun exposure a factor, and if so, how long after you complete the round of antibiotics should you wait before you are able to go back out in the sun?
You might ask your doctor for a broad-spectrum antibiotic, also known as a 'z-pack': this usually takes care of nearly everything in just a few days.
