Advice to Patients
- Advise patients that antibacterials (including amoxicillin) should only be used to treat bacterial infections and not used to treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold).
- Importance of completing the entire prescribed course of treatment, even if feeling better after a few days.
- Advise patients that skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may decrease effectiveness and increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable with amoxicillin or other antibacterials in the future.
- Advise individuals with phenylketonuria and other individuals who must restrict their intake of phenylalanine that 200- and 400-mg chewable tablets contain aspartame (NutraSweet®), which is metabolized in the GI tract to phenylalanine.
- Importance of discontinuing therapy and informing clinician if an allergic reaction occurs.
- Importance of informing clinician of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs.
- Importance of women informing clinicians if they are or plan to become pregnant or to breast-feed.
- Importance of advising patients of other important precautionary information. (See Cautions.)
