How To Use
  • This medication may be taken without regard to meals.
  • However, absorption is best if medication is taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 to 3 hours after meals).
  • Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level.
  • Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night.
  • Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days.
  • Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection.

Side Effects

  • If these symptoms persist or become severe, inform your doctor.
  • Notify your doctor immediately if an allergic reaction occurs while taking this medication.
  • Symptoms include difficulty breathing, skin rash, hives or itching.
  • Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a secondary infection (e.g., oral, bladder or vaginal yeast infection).

Precautions
  • Tell your doctor if you have any other illnesses or any allergies especially to penicillin or other antibiotics.
  • This medication should be used only if clearly needed during pregnancy.
  • Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
