CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
_Treatment of infection_: Amoxicillin capsules are indicated for the
oral treatment of
bacterial
infections
caused
by
amoxicillin
sensitive
organisms.
Such indications
include infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, the
genito-urinary tract and
the gastro-intestinal tract, Helicobacter pylori eradication in peptic
(duodenal and
gastric) ulcer disease. Specific indications include ear and soft
tissue infections and
gonorrhoea. In the acute stages of life threatening infections a
period of parenteral
anti-infective therapy would be essential before initiating oral
continuation therapy.
_Prophylaxis of endocarditis_: Amoxicillin capsules may be used for
the prevention of
bacteraemia, associated with procedures such as dental extraction, in
patients at risk
of developing bacterial endocarditis.
Consideration should be given to official local guidance (e.g.
national requirements)
on
the
appropriate
use
of
antibacterial
agents.
Susceptibility
of
the
causative
organisms to the treatment should be tested (if possible), although
the therapy may be
initiated before the results are available.
