Amoxicillin capsules are indicated in the treatment of infections due to susceptible (ONLY β-lactamase-negative) isolates of Streptococcusspecies. (α- and β-hemolytic isolates only), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcusspp., or Haemophilus influenzae. Amoxicillin capsules are indicated in the treatment of infections due to susceptible (ONLY β-lactamase-negative) isolates of Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, or Enterococcus faecalis. Amoxicillin capsules are indicated in the treatment of infections due to susceptible (ONLY β-lactamase-negative) isolates of Streptococcusspp. (α- and β-hemolytic isolates only), Staphylococcusspp., or E. coli. Amoxicillin capsules are indicated in the treatment of infections due to susceptible (ONLY β-lactamase-negative) isolates of Streptococcusspp. (α- and β-hemolytic isolates only), S. pneumoniae, Staphylococcusspp., or H. influenzae. Triple therapy for Helicobacter pyloriwith clarithromycin and lansoprazole: Amoxicillin capsules, in combination with clarithromycin plus lansoprazole as triple therapy, is indicated for the treatment of patients with H. pyloriinfection and duodenal ulcer disease (active or 1-year history of a duodenal ulcer) to eradicate H. pylori. Eradication of H. pylorihas been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence. Dual therapy for H. pyloriwith lansoprazole : Amoxicillin capsules, in combination with lansoprazole delayed-release capsules as dual therapy, is indicated for the treatment of patients with H. pyloriinfection and duodenal ulcer disease (active or 1-year history of a duodenal ulcer) who are either allergic or intolerant to clarithromycin or in whom resistance to clarithromycin is known or suspected. (See the clarithromycin package insert, MICROBIOLOGY.) Eradication of H. pylorihas been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of amoxicillin and other antibacterial drugs, amoxicillin capsules should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
