Indications:

used to treat infections in different parts of the body caused by bacteria. It is also used to stop infections when you have a tooth removed or other surgery. Amoxil may also be used in combination with other medicines to treat stomach ulcers

Contraindications:

Do not take this medicine if you: • are allergic (hypersensitive) to amoxicillin, penicillin or any of the other ingredients of Amoxil (listed in section 6) • have ever had an allergic (hypersensitive) reaction to any antibiotic. This can include a skin rash or swelling of the face or neck.

Adverse reactions:

Common (affects less than 1 in 10 people) • skin rash • feeling sick (nausea) • diarrhoea. Uncommon (affects less than 1 in 100 people) • being sick (vomiting). Very rare (affects less than 1 in 10,000 people) • thrush (a yeast infection of the vagina, mouth or skin folds), you can get treatment for thrush from your doctor or pharmaci

Interactions:

• If you are taking allopurinol (used for gout) with this medicine, it may be more likely that you’ll have an allergic skin reaction. • If you are taking probenecid (used for gout), your doctor may decide to adjust your dose of this medicine. • If medicines to help stop blood clots (such as warfarin) are taken with this medicine then extra blood tests may be needed.

Warnings:

The possibility of superinfections with mycotic or bacterial pathogens should be kept in mind during therapy. If superinfections occur, Amoxicillin should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. A high percentage of patients with mononucleosis who receive ampicillin develop an erythematous skin rash. Thus, ampicillin-class antibiotics should not be administered to patients with mononucleosis. Prescribing Amoxicillin capsules, Amoxicillin for oral suspension, or Amoxicillin tablets (chewable) in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
