Amoxicillin 500mg bd means you take two 500mg doses daily. This is typically administered twelve hours apart, once in the morning and once in the evening.
For optimal absorption, take your Amoxicillin with a full glass of water. Avoid taking it with dairy products or antacids as this may reduce absorption.
Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions. Your prescribed dosage may differ based on your individual needs and health condition. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician.
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 to make up for a missed one.
Complete the entire course of treatment, even if you start feeling better before the medication is finished. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance.
If you experience any side effects, such as rash, diarrhea, or nausea, contact your doctor immediately.
