It may however be an unpleasant taste, but if you do it with little amounts of water you can drink it quickly and then wash it down with more water afterwards.

I am having severe cold and fever. Can I take MOX capsule. If so what is the dosage vaidyanathan ## I got the sprain pain in ankle . can i take capsule mox and what is the dosage ## Mox contains the active ingredient Amoxicillin, it is an antibiotic and, as such, it will only help with infections and the dosage varies, depending on the severity and type of infection being treated. This means it will not help with a cold, since that is caused by a virus and it will do nothing to help with a sprained ankle, which involves muscle and ligaments. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. Improper use of this medication can cause you to develop antibiotic resistance, which can be a dangerous condition, if you get an infection. Are there any questions or comm...

I am a senior citizen and can't afford medications. Every year I get sinus infections because of the huge amount of trees and other plants in WA. This is the perfect antibiotic for me it works every time.

It costs me $215 to see the doctor and $45 for the prescription. I cannot afford that so if you dont help me I will die ## I'm sorry, but do no manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website.

I was told by my son's Pediatirician that this was not penicillin (as he is allergic to PCN). Now after reading several discussions about this med, I'm worried. Please respond ASAP! Thank you, a concerned mother. ## If he is allergic to PCN he should not take this medication. It is a close cousin to the penicillin family and he will also be allergic to it. I am also allergic to amoxicillin (pcn sister) and I was given this medicine for a ear infection and started getting hives in my face n swelling eyelids and tingly mouth. I stopped the omnicef when symtoms developed. So pls dont give to your son.
