How to use Amoxil Syrup

Shake the bottle thoroughly before each dose.
Use a specialized measuring device/spoon to measure the dose accurately; avoid using a household spoon.
Take this medication orally, with or without food, following your doctor’s instructions, typically every 8 or 12 hours.

Avoid pre-mixing for future use.
Stay hydrated unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Maintain consistent intervals between doses for optimal antibiotic effectiveness.
