Always read the label. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
Treatment of the following infections due to susceptible strains of sensitive organisms:
Note:
Therapy should be guided by bacteriological studies, including sensitivity tests, and by clinical response. Amoxicillin alone or in combination with another antibiotic, may be used in an emergency where the causative has not been identified.
? Respiratory tract infections (acute and chronic): H. influenzae; Streptococcus; S. pneumoniae; Staphylococcus, nonpenicillinase producing; E. coli (see Microbiology).
? Urogenital infections (complicated and uncomplicated, acute and chronic): E. coli (see Microbiology), P. mirabilis and Strep. faecalis.
? Gonorrhoea: N. gonorrhoea (nonpencillinase producing).
? Skin and skin structure infections: Staphylococcus, nonpenicillinase producing; Streptococcus; E. coli (see Microbiology).
? Prophylaxis of endocarditis: Amoxicillin may be used for the prophylaxis of bacterial endocarditis in individuals at particular risk, such as those with a prosthetic heart valve or those who have previously had endocarditis.
Infections caused by pathogens with established penicillin G susceptibility should preferentially be treated with penicillin G.
This medicine is generally considered safe during pregnancy if taken as directed. During pregnancy, you should discuss your medicine use with your doctor or pharmacist.

INDICATIONS: Treatment of the following infections due to susceptible strains of sensitive organisms. Note. Therapy should be guided by bacteriological studies, including sensitivity tests, and by clinical response. However, in emergency cases where the causative organism has not been identified, therapy with amoxycillin may be useful. Clinical judgement will decide whether combination with another antibiotic would provide a sufficiently broad spectrum of activity pending sensitivity test results. Skin and skin structure: Staphylococcus, non-penicillinase producing; Streptococcus; E. coli (see Microbiology). Respiratory (acute and chronic): H. influenzae; Streptococcus; Strep. pneumoniae; Staphylococcus, nonpenicillinase producing; E. coli (see Microbiology). Genitourinary tract (complicated and uncomplicated, acute and chronic): E. coli (see Microbiology), P. mirabilis and Strep. faecalis. Gonorrhoea: N. gonorrhoeae (nonpenicillinase producing). Prophylaxis of endocarditis: Amoxycillin may be used for the prophylaxis of bacterial endocarditis in individuals at particular risk, such as those with a prosthetic heart valve or those who have previously had endocarditis.
