Amoxicillin contains the active ingredient amoxicillin which is an antibiotic. This belongs to a group of medicines called 'penicillins'.
What Amoxicillin is used for « to treat infections caused by bacteria in different parts of the body.
- for urgent treatment of severe infection or if patients cannot take amoxicillin by mouth.
You must not be given Amoxicillin - if you are allergic to amoxicillin or penicillin
- if you have ever had an allergic reaction to any antibiotic. This can include a skin rash or swelling of the face or throat you must not be given Amoxicillin if any of the above apply.
If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given this medicine.
Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Amoxicillin:
- if you have glandular fever (fever, sore throat, swollen glands and extreme tiredness) - if you have kidney problems - if you are not urinating regularly (pass water)
If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Amoxicillin.
Blood and urine tests
If you are having:
+ urine tests (glucose) or blood tests for liver function
+ oestriol tests (used during pregnancy to check the baby is developing normally)
Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse that you are being given Amoxicillin. This is because Amoxicillin can affect the results of these tests.
This medicine contains sodium. This medicinal product contains 2.74 mmol (or 63 mg) sodium per vial. To be taken into account in patients controlling their dietary sodium intake.
Other medicines and Amoxicillin
Tell the doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any
other medicines:
- allopurinol (used for gout), as it may be more likely that you will have an allergic skin reaction if you are taking it while being given Amoxicillin
« probenecid (used to treat gout), concomitant use of probenecid may reduce the excretion of amoxicillin and is not recommended.
« medicines to help stop blood clots (such as warfarin), as you may need extra blood tests
¢ other antibiotics (such as tetracycline), as Amoxicillin may be less effective
methotrexate (used to treat cancer and severe psoriasis), penicillins may reduce the
excretion of methotrexate causing a potential increase in side effects.

General advice regarding the use of antibiotics
Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They have no effect against infections caused by viruses.
Sometimes an infection caused by bacteria does not respond to a course of an antibiotic. One of the commonest reasons for this to occur is because the bacteria causing the infection are resistant to the antibiotic that is being taken. This means that they can survive and even multiply despite the antibiotic.
Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics for many reasons. Using antibiotics carefully can help to reduce the chance of bacteria becoming resistant to them.
When your doctor prescribes a course of an antibiotic it is intended to treat only your current illness. Paying attention to the following advice will help prevent the emergence of resistant bacteria that could stop the antibiotic working.
1. It is very important that you take the antibiotic at the right dose, at the right times and for the right number of days. Read the instructions on the label and if you do not understand anything ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain.
2. You should not take an antibiotic unless it has been prescribed specifically for you and you should use it only to treat the infection for which it was prescribed.
3. You should not take antibiotics that have been prescribed for other people even if they had an infection that was similar to yours.
4. You should not give antibiotics that were prescribed for you to other people.
5. If you have any antibiotic left over when you have taken the course as directed by your doctor you should take the remainder to a pharmacy for appropriate disposal.

Method of Administration
The standard recommended route of administration is by intravenous injection or intravenous infusion. Intramuscular administration should only be considered when the intravenous route is not possible or less appropriate for the patient.
Intravenous
Amoxicillin may be administered either by slow intravenous injection over a period of 3 to 4 minutes directly into a vein or via a drip tube or by infusion over 20 to 30 minutes.
Intramuscular
The maximum single dose is 1 g in adults and children > 40 kg.
Do not inject more than 60 mg/kg at one time in children < 40 kg.
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the penicillins.
History of a severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction (e.g. anaphylaxis) to another beta-lactam agent (e.g. a cephalosporin, carbapenem or monobactam).
Probenecid
Concomitant use of probenecid is not recommended. Probenecid decreases the renal tubular secretion of amoxicillin. Concomitant use of probenecid may result in increased and prolonged blood levels of amoxicillin.
Allopurinol
Concurrent administration of allopurinol during treatment with amoxicillin can increase the likelihood of allergic skin reactions.
Tetracyclines
Tetracyclines and other bacteriostatic drugs may interfere with the bactericidal effects of amoxicillin.
Oral anticoagulants
Oral anticoagulants and penicillin antibiotics have been widely used in practice without reports of interaction. However, in the literature there are cases of increased international normalised ratio in patients maintained on acenocoumarol or warfarin and prescribed a course of amoxicillin. If coadministration is necessary, the prothrombin time or international normalised ratio should be carefully monitored with the addition or withdrawal of amoxicillin. Moreover, adjustments in the dose of oral anticoagulants may be necessary (see sections 4.4 and 4.8).
Methotrexate
Penicillins may reduce the excretion of methotrexate causing a potential increase in toxicity.
Pregnancy
Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity. Limited data on the use of amoxicillin during pregnancy in humans do not indicate an increased risk of congenital malformations. Amoxicillin may be used in pregnancy when the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks associated with treatment.
Breast-feeding
Amoxicillin is excreted into breast milk in small quantities with the possible risk of sensitisation. Consequently, diarrhoea and fungus infection of the mucous membranes are possible in the breast-fed infant, so that breast-feeding might have to be discontinued. Amoxicillin should only be used during breastfeeding after benefit/risk assessment by the physician in charge.
Fertility
There are no data on the effects of amoxicillin on fertility in humans. Reproductive studies in animals have shown no effects on fertility.
No studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed. However, undesirable effects may occur (e.g. allergic reactions, dizziness, convulsions), which may influence the ability to drive and use machines (see section 4.8).
Symptoms and signs of overdose
Gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea) and disturbance of the fluid and electrolyte balances may be evident. Amoxicillin crystalluria, in some cases leading to renal failure, has been observed. Convulsions may occur in patients with impaired renal function or in those receiving high doses (see sections 4.4 and 4.8).
Amoxicillin has been reported to precipitate in bladder catheters, predominantly after intravenous administration of large doses. A regular check of patency should be maintained (see section 4.4)
Treatment of intoxication
Gastrointestinal symptoms may be treated symptomatically, with attention to the water/electrolyte balance.
Amoxicillin can be removed from the circulation by haemodialysis.
