Amoxicillin capsules are one of several available modes of delivery for the antibiotic amoxicillin. Other options include tablets, chewable tablets, syrups, oral suspension and, for use in medical settings, intravenous fluid.

Since it became available in the early 1970s, this semi-synthetic antibiotic has seen a tremendous amount of use around the world. In the penicillin family, amoxicillin is particularly useful in treating common childhood ailments, such as ear infections.

Administration Options

In many cases, when amoxicillin is prescribed, the mode of delivery is a choice left up to the patient. Patients may choose to buy amoxicillin capsules over other options for a variety of reasons:

• No need to prepare solutions
• No need to measure powders or fluids
• Easier to swallow than tablets
• Easy to open and sprinkle on food or mix in drinks
• No need to cut or crush to get smaller doses

Regardless of delivery method, if taken correctly results are equally effective; it's really a matter of personal preference.

Uses & Treatment

Amoxicillin is used to combat a large assortment of bacterial infections. The drug does not actually kill bacteria, but prevents it from thriving and reproducing, allowing the body's immune system to gain the upper hand.

Commonly treated conditions include:

• Ear, nose or throat infections
• Bronchitis or pneumonia
• Ulcer-causing bacteria
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin infections
• Sexually transmitted infections
• Lyme disease
• Salmonella

It is not advisable to buy amoxicillin capsules to treat an undiagnosed condition; the treatment is not effective on all types of bacteria, and may even cause further complications.

The antibiotic is also used to prevent infections in some scenarios:

• Prior to surgery or dental work
• Prior to or during anthrax exposure
• To prevent recurring ulcers

Dosage strength and length of treatment will, of course, vary depending on the condition being treated, as well as patient age and health:

• Adult doses range from 250 to 1000 mg daily, with 500 mg being most common for most infections.
• Pediatric doses are typically smaller and vary greatly depending on condition and age.
• A dose is usually taken 2 to 3 times daily, spread evenly apart.
• For many conditions treatment lasts around 10 days; for some conditions treatment may span several months.
• In all cases treatment should not be ended early, even if symptoms disappear; doing so may contribute to resistant bacteria.

Treatment is most effective if each dose is taken equally spread apart and around the same time each day, to maximize the drug's presence in the body. Staying hydrated will also help the body fight off the infection.

Amoxicillin in Children

Children frequently experience mild to severe allergic reactions to amoxicillin. Allergic reactions are much less common in adults. Warning signs which call for immediate medical attention include:

• Swelling of face, tongue or throat
• Rash or hives
• Severe itching
• Difficulty breathing

Allergy tests for penicillin-class drugs are inexpensive and may be worth looking into prior to administering the medication to a child.

If an individual is allergic to the medication, symptoms usually develop in the first few days of treatment. Children should be monitored closely during this time.
