How long does a course of amoxicillin last?

Amoxicillin is a common drug. When taking amoxicillin, you must pay attention to the method of taking it. Do not take too much at one time and follow the doctor's orders. It is mainly used to treat infections and resist infections. The course of treatment is generally 3 to 6 days, and some are about 7 to 10 days. The specific dosage of the course of treatment should be adjusted according to the actual condition and the severity of the disease. Antibiotics are effective relatively quickly, but they require strengthening the foundation.

1. When to take amoxicillin

This product is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with about 75% to 90% being absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Food has no significant effect on drug absorption.

One thing to remember is that oral preparations of β-lactam antibiotics (commonly known as "penicillins") are generally recommended to be taken before meals to improve the bioavailability of the drug. If the patient has gastrointestinal disease, he or she can take it after meals to avoid causing unnecessary gastrointestinal reactions.

2. Amoxicillin treatment course

If amoxicillin is used for general anti-infection treatment, the course of treatment is generally 3-6 days, depending on the severity of the infection and the needs of clinical treatment.

If amoxicillin is used to treat Helicobacter pylori infections such as gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, it is often used in combination with proton pump inhibitors. The course of treatment is 7-10 days. Follow the doctor's advice after reexamination.

Introduction

Amoxicillin, also known as amoxicillin or anmoxicillin, is one of the most commonly used semi-synthetic penicillin-type broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics. It is a white powder with a half-life of approximately 61.3 minutes. It is stable under acidic conditions and has a gastrointestinal absorption rate of 90%. Amoxicillin has a strong bactericidal effect and a strong ability to penetrate cell membranes. It is one of the most widely used oral semi-synthetic penicillins. Its preparations include capsules, tablets, granules, dispersible tablets, etc. It is now often used in combination with clavulanic acid to make dispersible tablets.
