Amoxicillin is not typically the first-line treatment for chlamydia, but it’s sometimes used if other antibiotics aren’t available or tolerated. Dosage and treatment duration depend on the specific infection being treated, therefore, always follow your doctor’s instructions.
Generally, for bacterial infections other than chlamydia, amoxicillin dosages vary widely by age and infection type. Consult a healthcare professional for accurate prescribing information.
- Adults: Typical dosages range from 250mg to 500mg every 8 hours, or 875mg every 12 hours. The treatment course usually lasts 7-14 days. Children: Dosage is based on weight and should be determined by a pediatrician.
Important Note: Amoxicillin is not effective against all bacteria. Always complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed, even if symptoms improve. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance. If you experience any side effects such as allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), seek immediate medical attention.
