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.

Respiratory (acute and chronic): H. influenzae; Streptococcus; Strep. pneumoniae; Staphylococcus, nonpenicillinase producing; E. coli (see Microbiology).
