What Are The Milligrams Of Amoxicillin

I have 12 yr old weighing around 90 lbs what is the dosage in mls for liquid suspension dosage for amoxicillin ## I forgot to mention the amoxicillin is for strep throat. What is liquid suspension dosage with a syringe for a 90lb 12 yr old ## I'm sorry, but you didn't say what the dosage of the liquid suspension is, so I'm unable to help you. Can you please post back and clarify? What amount did his doctor instruct you to give him? The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

my Dr just gave me a prescription for amoxicillin two 500 milligram pills every 12 hours that equals out to 2000 milligrams of amoxicillin a day for strep throat for 10 days. My throat is also very swollen I just thought that seems excessive though. ## Hello, Clueless! How are you feeling? That is pretty high, but it does have to be adjusted for the severity of the infection and there are occasions where 1gram or 2grams a day may be necessary. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. Double check with your doctor to be certain, but it might be an appropriate amount for this with as bad as you said it was. The side effects will likely be more severe and can include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any other questions or concerns?

My child is 9 and weighs 55lbs. What is a normal dosage of amoxicillin in pill form? She has strep. ## @Chris, According to the MayoClinic, the dosage of amoxicillin for children weighing less than 88lbs is solely based on body weight and must be determined by their prescribing doctor. However, for adults and children weighing more than 88lbs, the normal dosage is reportedly 250 to 500 milligrams every 8 hours, or 500 to 875 mg every 12 hours - figures that are also determined by the prescribing doctor. Hope this helps! ## I was surprised when the er doctor prescribed amoxicillin 500 mg to my 9-year-old grandson for an ear infection. Usually, they would prescribe the oral suspension. I was just wondering if this is normal?

I just need to know if it's safe to switch to 500 milligrams of ampicillin within hours of taking 875 milligrams of amoxicillin? ## Unless your provider has instructed otherwise, you can usually switch cleanly from one to the other. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking Amoxicillin and I tested positive for cocaine on a urine drug test. How do I get scholarly information to provide as proof that Amoxicillin can cause a false positive result? ## I was taking 875 milligrams of amoxicillin for an infected tooth. I went to the dentist and they gave me 250 two milligrams of Lidocaine + 0.119 milligrams of epinephrine and 2% HCI. I had a urinalysis drug test which came back positive for cocaine on December 7th 2016.. I told them that I did not do any drugs but they didn't believe me so I went to a medical laboratory and had a 5-panel hair follicle test done which came back negative for cocaine, marijuana, PCP, opiates, amphetamines and methamphetamines. Then I was told that the hair follicle test doesn't mean anything even if it went back...

I am prescribed Norco 10 milligrams 5 times a day + Klonopin 1 milligram twice a day + Amoxicillin 500 milligrams 3 times a day + Prednisone 20 milligrams 3 times a day + Zoloft 200 milligrams once a day. Would any of this cause a false positive for THC?
