Adults and Pediatric Patients Weighing More Than 40kg Interventions

Amoxicillin trihydrate is an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis of bacteria. Common indications include respiratory, skin, and urinary tract infections. Dosage varies depending on the infection, age, and renal function. Potential side effects include gastrointestinal issues, rash, and allergic reactions. Nursing responsibilities involve monitoring for side effects, ensuring proper administration, and following up until symptoms resolve.
