Mode of application

Despite the safety of using this drug, it is advisable to consult with your doctor before purchasing it.

Important! With the approval of a doctor, adults can take the drug in two ways: twice a day in the amount of 500-750 milligrams and three times a day in the amount of 375-500 milligrams.

Flemoxin solutab for sore throat in adults

Any of these regimens is used for patients over ten years of age, and the choice depends on the tolerability of the drug components and the individual patient’s predisposition to developing side effects.

Depending on the severity of the disease, the course of treatment may last differently, but not less than a week .

The average patient completely gets rid of the symptoms of a sore throat when treated with Flemoxin Solutab in a maximum of 12 days.

In this case, the course of treatment must be completed , even if relief and almost complete disappearance of symptoms occurs within the first few days.

Such a step may lead to the fact that pathogens that are not completely exterminated and remain in the body will develop resistance to the drug.

And when their number increases again to a critical volume, Flemoxin Solutab will no longer be effective against them.

Remember! Treatment of a child with this medicine has its own characteristics: taking the medicine should begin no later than the ninth day from the moment the disease is diagnosed.

Flemoxin for sore throat in children

Dosages for children will be as follows:

From the age of one to three, doses are taken in two or three approaches of 250 or 125 milligrams, respectively.
Children aged three to ten years are given the drug twice a day, 375 milligrams and three times - 250 milligrams .

The duration of treatment in children is approximately the same as in adults, but depending on the situation, it can be adjusted by the attending physician.
It is worth noting that it is better to give young children an antibiotic in the form of a suspension , obtained by dissolving the tablet in cool boiled water.

Compound

Composition of Flemoxin

Amoxicillin. A substance of the penicillin group is the active ingredient of the drug
Vanillin is an excipient that gives a pleasant aroma to tablets
Saccharin. Thanks to this component, the tablets taste good, and even small children can chew the antibiotic without difficulty or discomfort.
Microcrystalline cellulose. This is an additional excipient that, in essence, creates a characteristic tablet shape. Has no particular benefit or harm, neutral component
Magnesium stearate
Dispersible cellulose
Citrus flavors: lemon and tangerine.

Flemoxin is available in tablet form; there is also a pleasant-tasting suspension for children. There is no powder form of the drug. But for a child, you can crush the tablet yourself, dilute it in water and give it to the baby. Before the first dose, it is better to take tests for the sensitivity of your own microflora in the active components of flemoxin. This will avoid complications during the admission process.

Flemoxin for sore throat in children

An infection caused by streptococci does not go away quickly, and complications are possible, so it is necessary to give the child an antibiotic for at least 5 days. In approximately half of the cases this period increases to 7-10 days. Each child must have an individual approach. Therefore, be sure to first show your little patient to a pediatrician, who will prescribe treatment appropriate for the age and severity of the condition.

If the baby is from one to three years old, then a single dose is 125 mg
If from three to ten years - 250 mg
Children over 3 years old can be given Flemoxin 2 times a day, but in this case the single dose will be 375 mg

Your doctor may prescribe other dosages depending on the individual characteristics of your child's body. In this case, you need to listen to his opinion. Average dosage calculation: per 1 kg of baby’s live weight - 30 mg of medication. For very young children, a suspension or tablets dissolved in water is recommended. Children with cough and sore throat are treated without reference to meals. Moreover, at the beginning of a sore throat, it may be difficult for a child to swallow, and he may not eat anything at all, being with a fever. If the baby has kidney disease, the instructions advise reducing the dose of flemoxin by at least half.

If treatment with Flemoxin does not produce results, then after three days of testing, the doctor should prescribe another drug. But usually this rarely happens; Flemoxin solutab helps in most cases.

How to take Flemoxin Solutab for sore throat?

Flemoxin Solutab is available in white or yellowish tablets with dosages of 125 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg and 1000 mg, or suspensions.
The course of treatment will depend on the severity of the disease. Flemoxin Solutab for mild to moderate angina is taken at a dosage of 0.5 - 2 g per day, and the dose should be divided into 2 times - morning and evening.

Typically, the course of antibiotics is 5–7 days. If tests show that the infection still remains in the body, the doctor may extend the course to 10 days.

It should be remembered that in no case should you stop taking the drug after the onset of relief without drinking the full course, in accordance with the doctor’s prescription! Staphylocci and streptococci will not sleep: with the next sore throat or exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis, they will no longer succumb to the action of this antibiotic!

The medicine is usually recommended to be taken before meals, but for many it causes a short-term attack of nausea. For such patients, it is better to take the tablet during a meal or immediately after it.

The other side of the coin: a little about the side effects of Flemoxin

Flemoxin Solutab for sore throat in adults (however, in children too) can cause some allergic reactions and side effects. It is contraindicated for people who are allergic to penicillin (as well as cephalosporin) antibacterial drugs and to components that are used as auxiliaries in the manufacture of Flemoxin: vanillin, dispersed cellulose, various flavoring additives.

There may be no side effects at all, but there is a possibility of the following: diarrhea, itching in the anus, hemolytic anemia, skin reactions. Extremely rarely (single cases) cases of hemorrhagic and pseudomembranous colitis and Quincke's edema have been recorded.

In general, compared to many antibiotics, especially previous generations, Flemoxin Solutab quite rarely causes side effects and allergies, but if you are hypersensitive to the components of the drug, you should immediately notify your doctor about this so that he can select another medicine, or carefully monitor yourself after taking two or three tablets.

Important! In case of pronounced dysfunction of the liver and (or) kidneys, Flemoxin Solutab, like any antibiotic, should be taken with great caution.

Adviсe

Some nuances that will allow you to correctly use an antibiotic for a sore throat: Before treatment, be sure to consult your doctor about taking it. This will avoid choosing the wrong antibiotic. And medications in this group, as you know, are very serious medications. Be sure to follow the recommended dosage. Do not exceed the dose, even if the current condition is very serious.

It is advisable to take Flemoxin for angina along with taking B vitamins, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs. Thus, a “massive blow” will be dealt to the source of the disease from all sides at once, and the sore throat will definitely not withstand such pressure.

You need to take Flemoxin for the prescribed number of days, even if all the severe symptoms of the disease have passed and there is no fever. Antibiotics should be taken for at least 5 days; the exact dosage is indicated in the instructions. After a course of antibiotics, it is necessary to take drugs that restore the bioenvironment of the intestines and stomach, since to one degree or another all antibiotics destroy it. After all, these drugs destroy bacteria without distinguishing which bacteria in front of them is beneficial or harmful.
