For uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), a common adult dosage is 500mg of amoxicillin taken three times daily for seven to ten days. This is a guideline; your doctor will determine the best course of treatment based on your specific needs and the severity of your infection.
Children’s dosages vary significantly depending on weight and age. Always follow your pediatrician’s instructions meticulously; never administer medication based solely on online information. They’ll consider factors like kidney function and overall health to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Important Note: Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, and improper use can lead to antibiotic resistance. Complete the full course of medication as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the end. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any adverse reactions, such as severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), or if your symptoms worsen.
Remember: This information is for general knowledge and does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment of a UTI or any other medical condition. Self-treating can be harmful.
