The typical adult Amoxicillin 875 mg dosage is one tablet twice daily, taken every 12 hours. This schedule ensures consistent blood levels of the antibiotic for optimal effectiveness against bacterial infections. Remember to complete the entire prescribed course of treatment, even if you start feeling better sooner. Stopping early can lead to recurrent infection.
Specific Considerations
Your doctor may adjust this dosage based on your individual health condition, the severity of your infection, and your kidney function. For example, individuals with kidney impairment may require a lower dose to prevent medication buildup. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Taking more Amoxicillin than prescribed won’t make you recover faster and could potentially cause adverse effects.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses to make up for a missed one. Consistent dosing is key for successful treatment.
