What is the usual daily dosage/how many days of Amoxicillin (500 mg tabs) is nee!
Question:
Answers:
If you're planning on taking Amoxicillin on your own, you should call your doc first. I am familiar with some lung conditions, and it may be that isn't the right treatment, rather a different antibiotic, such as Zithromax, or Biaxin, Avelox, or others, most are very expensive, Amoxi costs much less. Might as well start off on the right foot, as bronchitis is nothing to mess with. If you've had it and the Amoxi before, then just call and ask the doc's office how long to take, or read the label if it was prescribed for you.

The best thing to do is follow the dr instructions. Usually you should finish the bottle.
It depends on how flared up it is, but the usual dose is Twice a day for 7 to 10 days. And it is best to try and take it at the same time everyday with food and dont take it with dairy products, it can make it not as effective.
3-500 mg tablets-3 times a day-for 10 days MAXIMUM
Depending on the severity, and particular Amoxicillin, it could be from 5-7 days rather than 10
Call dr. or pharmacist.
1 tab 3-4 times a day for 7 to 10 days
Amoxicillin comes as a capsule, a tablet, a chewable tablet, a suspension (liquid), and pediatric drops to take by mouth. It is usually taken every 12 hours (twice a day) or every 8 hours (three times a day) with or without food. To help you remember to take amoxicillin, take it around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take amoxicillin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Take amoxicillin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. Stopping amoxicillin too soon may cause bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics.

The proper dosage for an adult 16 and over is 500 mg twice a day till you have finished the medicine.
When you are prescribed antibiotics ALWAYS finish the course.Non-compliance is a surefire way to destroy your immune system.
