Pharmacology:
Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class. It inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to cell lysis.

Urinary tract infections: 500 mg every 12 hours.
Respiratory tract infections: 250–500 mg every 6 hours or 500 mg every 12 hours.
Skin and soft tissue infections: 250–500 mg every 6 hours or 500 mg every 12 hours.
Maximum daily dose: 4 g.

Otitis media: 75–100 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 6–12 hours.
Administration:
For oral suspension: Reconstitute the powder by adding 70 ml of boiled and cooled water in two portions, shaking well after each addition. Shake the suspension well before each use.
Can be taken with or without food; however, food may delay absorption slightly.
Interaction:
Concurrent use with nephrotoxic drugs (e.g., aminoglycosides) may increase the risk of kidney damage.
Probenecid may decrease renal clearance of Amoxicillin, leading to higher serum concentrations.
Contraindications:

Side Effects:
Gastrointestinal disturbances: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain.
Hypersensitivity reactions: skin rashes, urticaria, pruritus.

Pregnancy & Lactation:
Use during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
Amoxicillin is excreted in breast milk; caution is advised when administered to nursing mothers.
Precautions & Warnings:
Use with caution in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to penicillins, due to potential cross-reactivity.
Adjust dosage in patients with impaired renal function.
Therapeutic Class:
Broad-spectrum Penicillins.
