What to Tell Medical Professionals

Clearly state you took more amoxicillin than prescribed. Be precise: tell them the exact dosage you took and when. Include the prescribed dosage for comparison.

Providing Relevant Information

Describe any symptoms you’re experiencing. This includes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, skin rash, or any unusual changes in your urine or stool. Note the severity and timing of these symptoms. Mention any existing medical conditions or allergies. List all medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are currently taking.

If possible, bring the amoxicillin bottle to your appointment. This helps medical professionals verify the dosage and expiry date. Provide the pharmacy’s name and contact information, if you can recall. Don’t hesitate to ask questions; understanding the treatment plan is crucial for your recovery. Relay any concerns you have about your symptoms or the potential effects of the overdose.
