Infections eg, septicemia, endocarditis and meningitis due to susceptible organisms should be treated initially with high doses of a parenteral therapy and where appropriate, in combination with another antibiotic.
Prophylaxis of Endocarditis: Amoxil may be used for the prevention of bacteremia associated with procedures eg, dental extraction, in patients at risk of developing endocarditis (see Dosage & Administration).
Susceptibility to amoxicillin will vary with geography and time and local susceptibility data should be consulted where available and microbiological sampling and susceptibility testing where necessary (see Pharmacology: Microbiology under Actions).
