Unfortunately, in everyday life people are early orthey later encounter cases when they need to take antibiotics of different strength and spectrum of action. As a rule, if it comes to the fact that a person goes to a pharmacy and buys an antibiotic, then the case is out of the ordinary, and therefore requires a very serious approach. And if some tablets can be taken at random, then for such drugs as "Amoxiclav," the instruction should become the bible of the host.
In this article, we explain why complianceall the prescriptions are so important for this particular remedy. So, why is the instruction attached to the drug "Amoxiclav" so necessary? The thing is that this drug is not just a strong antibiotic - it is comparable to the atomic bomb dropped on domestic cockroaches by the force of impact and the scale ratio with the threat. Its strength is destructive, the extent of the defeat is enormous. Let such an impact seem unjustified, but there are times when such a global impact on the disease is needed. However, we do not recommend making a decision on taking such a strong preparation as amoxiclav. Before prescribing a prescription for you, the attending physician should not only conduct an examination and make sure that other methods of treatment are not possible, and also check your reaction to the drug in small doses. Only after that you can go to the pharmacy and buy amoxiclav tablets. It is necessary to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the instruction in which all contraindications and possible side effects of tablets on the body are painted, and if you have any questions, consult your doctor again.
So, how to take amoxiclav?Once again, we draw your attention to the fact that the word "care" should be the main word in your lexicon when accepting this remedy. As a rule, the drug is taken in the dose that the doctor prescribed. It is undesirable to take a smaller dose, but it is completely unacceptable to exceed it! In particular, the instruction in the box containing the Amoxiclav preparation regulates the following dose limits: for adults, it is possible to take a maximum of 600 mg of clavulanic acid (an adjuvant) per day, and children - not more than ten milligrams per kilogram of body weight. As for amoxicillin, the main substance in this preparation, its doses are limited to a maximum of six grams per day for adults, and for children - forty-five milligrams per kilogram of body weight. As you can see, to calculate the optimal dose, you will need to equip yourself with a calculator or knowledge of high school arithmetic. Also remember that this drug is recommended to take either after or during meals, so that quick contact of the substance with the walls of the stomach and intestines does not cause unpleasant symptoms.
Also remember that taking antibiotics rendersa disastrous effect on the gastrointestinal tract, as the entire intestinal microflora is killed. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to take the so-called probiotics - drugs that maintain the intestinal microflora in a normal state and are capsules with spores of beneficial bacteria responsible for normal digestion. Although the instructions attached to the drug "Amoxiclav" and does not regulate the reception of probiotics as a mandatory, usually doctors themselves tell patients about it. In case if your doctor did not voice such information, consult a pharmacist at the pharmacy or try to find the necessary information yourself. Probiotics are absolutely harmless with the right reception, so finding information and choosing the right remedy you can reserve.
Successful treatment to you! We wish that, as rarely as possible in your life, there are times when you need to take amoxiclav! Be healthy!
