• Acid-stable formulation for consistent efficacy
• Available in capsule and powder for oral suspension forms
• Manufactured under strict GMP and quality-controlled conditions

Benefits

• Effectively eradicates a wide range of bacterial pathogens, reducing infection duration and severity.
• Minimizes the risk of complications from untreated or partially treated bacterial infections.
• Supports high patient compliance due to convenient dosing schedules and generally good tolerability.
• Suitable for use across diverse patient populations, including children and adults.

Common use

Cenmox is commonly prescribed for bacterial infections such as:

• Otitis media (middle ear infection)
• Streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat)
• Sinusitis
• Pneumonia and bronchitis
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections (uncomplicated)
• Dental abscesses and prophylactic use in certain dental procedures

Dosage and direction

Dosage must be individualized based on infection severity, pathogen susceptibility, and patient factors.
Adults: Typical dose is 250–500 mg every 8 hours or 500–875 mg every 12 hours.
Children: 20–90 mg/kg/day divided every 8–12 hours, based on body weight and infection type.
Take with or without food; if gastrointestinal upset occurs, administer with meals. Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve earlier.

Precautions

• Use with caution in patients with mononucleosis due to increased risk of rash.
• Monitor renal function in patients with pre-existing kidney impairment.
• Prolonged use may result in fungal or bacterial superinfection.
• Not recommended for patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis.
• Perform culture and susceptibility testing to confirm organism sensitivity when possible.

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to amoxicillin, penicillin, or other beta-lactam antibiotics.
• History of amoxicillin-associated cholestatic jaundice or hepatic dysfunction.
• Patients with a previous history of penicillin-associated allergic reactions including anaphylaxis.

Possible side effect

Common side effects may include:

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
• Skin rash or itching
• Headache
• Vaginal yeast infection

Less common but serious side effects:

• Severe allergic reactions (hives, difficulty breathing, swelling)
• Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
• Hepatitis or jaundice
• Blood disorders (e.g., leukopenia, thrombocytopenia)

Drug interaction

• Probenecid may reduce renal excretion of amoxicillin, increasing blood levels.
• Concurrent use with oral anticoagulants may enhance anticoagulant effect.
• Amoxicillin may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives; advise alternative contraception.
• Allopurinol may increase the incidence of skin rash.
• Tetracyclines and other bacteriostatic antibiotics may interfere with bactericidal action.

Missed dose

Take the missed dose as soon as remembered. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Overdose

Symptoms may include severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and electrolyte imbalance. Management is primarily supportive and symptomatic. Hemodialysis may be effective in removing amoxicillin from circulation. Contact a poison control center or seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Storage

Store at room temperature (15–30°C) in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Oral suspension should be reconstituted with water as directed and refrigerated; discard any unused portion after 14 days.
