Teva-Amoxicillin 500mg capsules contain amoxicillin, a penicillin-based antibiotic. This medication effectively combats bacterial infections. Always follow your doctor’s prescription instructions precisely.
Common uses include treating bacterial infections of the respiratory tract (like bronchitis or pneumonia), ear infections (otitis media), skin infections, and urinary tract infections. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, ultimately leading to bacterial death.
Before taking Teva-Amoxicillin, inform your doctor of any allergies, particularly to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. Discuss existing medical conditions, including kidney or liver problems. Pregnancy or breastfeeding should also be disclosed.
Side effects, while generally mild, can include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. Severe allergic reactions, though rare, necessitate immediate medical attention. These reactions can manifest as swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and difficulty breathing.
Dosage varies depending on the infection’s severity and the patient’s weight. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. Strictly adhere to the prescribed regimen; don’t stop taking the medication prematurely, even if you feel better.
Store Teva-Amoxicillin capsules at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep them out of reach of children. Consult your pharmacist or doctor for proper disposal procedures when finished with the medication.
