Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Commonly one capsule every 6 to 12 hours (depending on the infection), swallowed with water, with or without food (taking it with food can reduce stomach upset). Space the doses evenly and complete the full course even if you feel better after a few days, to clear the infection fully and help prevent antibiotic resistance.
Tell your doctor about any allergy to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics before use. The most common effects are diarrhoea, nausea or stomach upset; seek advice for severe or watery/bloody diarrhoea, which can occur during or after antibiotic use. Tell your doctor about kidney problems, as the dose may need adjusting. Use in pregnancy or breastfeeding only on medical advice. Store below 30°C.
