Frequently asked questions
Mox 500 before or after food?
Either. Amoxicillin is absorbed well with or without food. If it upsets your stomach, take it after a meal.
Mox 500 vs Augmentin 625 – what is the difference?
Mox contains only amoxicillin 500 mg. Augmentin 625 is amoxicillin 500 mg plus clavulanic acid 125 mg, which blocks the enzyme some bacteria use to resist amoxicillin. Your doctor picks based on the infection; Augmentin causes more diarrhoea.
Can I take Mox 500 with alcohol?
There is no dangerous interaction, but alcohol worsens nausea, dehydrates you and slows recovery. It is sensible to avoid it until the course is finished.
How many days should I take amoxicillin?
Most courses are 5 to 7 days, sometimes longer for dental or chest infections. Finish every capsule even if you feel better – stopping early can let the infection return.
