Amoxicillin pills typically appear as capsules or tablets, ranging in color from white to light yellow. Sizes vary depending on the dosage; common strengths include 250mg and 500mg. You’ll find them imprinted with identifying markings, often including the manufacturer’s logo and dosage strength. Always check the medication label for accurate information.
Capsules usually have a slightly elongated shape and are filled with a powder. Tablets, on the other hand, are compressed into a solid form. Both forms deliver amoxicillin effectively. Be aware that some formulations may include additional ingredients such as fillers or binders.
Store amoxicillin at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its efficacy. Keep it out of reach of children. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Never exceed the prescribed amount, and finish the entire course of medication, even if symptoms improve before the end of the prescribed period.
If you experience any adverse effects, such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), digestive issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), or other unusual symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
