Amoxicillin: Uses, Dosage, and Precautions by Wei Co is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic used to treat respiratory, skin, and other infections. It works by preventing bacterial cell wall synthesis during replication. It should not be used to treat pneumonia, bacteremia, pericarditis, or in those with a penicillin or cephalosporin allergy. Nurses should assess patients for infection symptoms and allergic reactions, and monitor for potential adverse effects like rashes, diarrhea, and abnormal taste.
