Amoxil Drops

Amoxil Drops: A Comprehensive Guide.

Amoxil Drops are a pediatric antibiotic suspension designed to treat various bacterial infections in children. This off-white liquid contains 100 mg of amoxicillin per milliliter, making it a potent and effective treatment option.

Key Features

• Active Ingredient: Amoxicillin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that provides bactericidal activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens.
• Inactive Ingredients: Sodium benzoate, carmellose sodium, crospovidone, xanthan gum, silica (hydrophobic colloidal anhydrous), aspartame, magnesium stearate, and a lemon/peach/strawberry fruit mix flavor.
• Usage: The dose of Amoxil Drops is drawn up and given using the dosing syringe provided with the medicine. Ensure the whole dose is swallowed each time to ensure proper absorption.

Clinical Information

• Stability: Amoxil Drops are stable in the presence of gastric acid, allowing them to be administered without regard to meals.
• Absorption: The medication is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and diffuses readily into most body tissues and fluids, except for the brain and spinal fluid unless the meninges are inflamed.
• Excretion: Most of the amoxicillin is excreted unchanged in the urine.

Dosage Instructions

For pediatric use, the recommended dosage varies based on the child’s weight. Typically, cats require 50 mg (5–10 mg/lb) administered once daily for 5–7 days. Continue treatment for an additional 48 hours after all symptoms have subsided.

Preparation and Storage

• Reconstitution: Add the required amount of water to the bottle and shake vigorously. Each mL of suspension will contain 50 mg of amoxicillin as the trihydrate.
• Storage: Any unused portion of the reconstituted suspension must be discarded after 14 days. Refrigeration is preferable but not required. Do not store the dry powder at temperatures above 25°C (77°F).
