The drug is represented by convex tablets of elongated shape, white (with a slightly noticeable yellow tint) color, dispersible, with a pleasant smell.
Cardboard packaging contains blisters, each containing 5 tablets, and detailed instructions for use.
From what tablets Flemoxin Solutab 250 and in what cases is prescribed
The antibiotic is designed to combat pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, tablets are prescribed for diseases caused or complicated by bacterial microflora:
- lower or upper respiratory tract infections;
- otitis media;
- lesions of the musculoskeletal system;
- infections of the skin with penetration into the tissues - furunculosis, streptoderma, erysipelas;
- pathologies of the urinary system, female urogenital sphere - adnexitis, cystitis, pyelonephritis.
A pharmaceutical agent is sometimes used in combination with other medicines.
Instructions for use and dosage for children and adults
Usually, the doctor calculates the dosage individually - it depends on the age of the patient, the diagnosis, body weight.
General information about the dosage is reflected in the instructions: adults and children after 10 years should take 2 tablets (500 mg) three times a day for 1 time. Reception can be reduced to 2 times a day, but then you need to drink 750 mg of the drug for 1 time (3 tablets).
Children from 1 year to 3 years can take children's Flemoxin in tablets of 125 mg. If only a 250 mg tablet is available, then it is divided in half and at one time the child drinks a half (125 mg). 3 doses daily.
Starting from 3 years of age (up to 10 years), patients take 1 tablet of Flemoxin Solutab (250 mg) three times a day.
It is better to give Flemoxin to the child in the form of a suspension (it is obtained by dissolving the tablet in a small amount of water). Or you can crush the medicine into powder to make it easier to swallow. An antibiotic is not taken on an empty stomach.
The usual course duration is 1 week, but in severe cases, tablets are taken for 10-14 days.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding
Flemoxin Solutab is forbidden to take at the beginning of pregnancy - in the first trimester. Later, from the 2nd trimester, a specialist can prescribe an antibiotic if necessary.
The active substance passes into breast milk; therefore, it is better to stop feeding during Flemoxin treatment.
Drug interaction
It is not recommended to take magnesium preparations, enveloping and laxatives simultaneously with the antibiotic - the effect of amoxicillin will be weakened due to a decrease in its absorption.
Flemoxin is poorly combined with indirect anticoagulants - bleeding may occur.
The antibiotic weakens the effect of oral contraceptives.
Flemoxin Solutab and certain antibiotics (cephalosporins, aminoglycosides) can mutually reinforce each other's actions.
Flemoxin Solutab and alcohol
Do not drink alcohol at the same time as antibiotic treatment.
Alcohol is able to lower the concentration of the drug in the body, accelerating its elimination, because of which the therapeutic effect will not be achieved. Adaptation of pathogenic pathogens to amoxicillin may occur, then the doctor will have to prescribe another antibiotic to the patient.
Also, drinking alcohol in parallel with the therapy threatens:
- the development of intestinal dysbiosis;
- malfunctions of the stomach, liver;
- allergic manifestations;
- the occurrence of tachycardia.
Contraindications, side effects and overdose

Augmentin (250 mg / 125 mg) is different from previous pharmaceuticals. Amoxicillin (250 mg) with clavulanic acid (125 mg) is present in its composition - this combination even more effectively destroys the causative agents of infectious diseases.

The advantages of a pharmaceutical agent are that it effectively affects a large number of pathogenic microorganisms, rarely causes adverse reactions, has a number of analogues. Flemoxin Solutab is suitable for young children - and this is another indisputable advantage of the drug.
