Amoxycillin (Sandoz)

What it is used for

Treatment of the following infections due to susceptible strains of sensitive organisms: NOTE: Therapy should be guided by bacteriologic studies including sensitivity tests and by clinical response. Amoxycillin alone or in combination with another antibiotic, may be used in an emergency where the causative agent has yet to be identified. RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS (Acute and chronic): H, influenzae; Streptococcus; S. pneumoniae; Staphylococcus, non-pencillinase producing; E. coli (see Microbiology). UROGENITAL INFECTIONS (Complicated and uncomplicated, acute and chronic): E, coli (see Microbiology); P. mirabilis; S. faecalis. GONORRHOEA (N.gonorrhoeae, non-penicillinase producing). SKIN AND SKIN STRUCTURE INFECTIONS: Staphylococcus, non-penicillinase producing; Streptococcus; E. coli (see Microbiology). Prophylaxis of endocarditis. Amoxycillin may be used for the prophylaxis of bacterial endocarditis in individuals at particular risk, such as those with a prosthetic heart valve or those who have previously had endocarditis. Infections caused by pathogens with established penicillin G susceptibility should preferentially be treated with penicillin G.
