Hard gelatin capsules with a red cap and white body, plain, unprinted. 4 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.

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. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION For oral administration only _Treatment of infection_: _Adults_: For less severe infections the usual oral dose is 250 mg three times daily. In more severe conditions the dosage may be doubled. The recommended maximum daily dose is 6 g, in divided doses. _Short course therapy_: Simple acute urinary tract infection: two 3 g doses with 10 - 12 hours between the doses. Gonorrhoea: a single dose of 3 g. _Prophylaxis of endocarditis_: The usual dose is 3 g, 1 hour prior to the procedure which may result in bacteraemia. Baca dokumen lengkap
