What is the most important information I should know about Trimox:
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe or bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps during treatment with Trimox.
Take all of the Trimox that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may begin to improve before the infection is completely treated.
What is Trimox:
Trimox is an antibiotic in the class of drugs called penicillins. It fights bacteria in the body.
Trimox is used to treat many different types of infections, such as tonsillitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, and infections of the skin.
Trimox may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
How Take Trimox:
Take Trimox exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
Trimox should be taken at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night to keep the level in the blood high enough to treat the infection. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Trimox can be taken with food or without food.
Swallow each regular oral dose (nonchewable tablets and capsules) whole, with a full glass of water.
Chew the chewable tablets thoroughly before swallowing.
The dispersible tablets (e.g., Dispermox) should be dissolved in water before administration. One tablet should be added to a container holding approximately 2 teaspoons of water (10 mL). Stir or swirl the mixture until the tablet is completely dissolved. Drink the entire mixture immediately, do not save for later use. Rinse the container with another small amount of water and drink the contents to ensure you get the full dose of medicine. Do not chew or swallow the tablets. The tablets will not dissolve in the mouth. Do not dissolve the tablets in any liquid other than water.
Shake the suspension well before measuring a dose. To ensure that you get the correct dose, measure the liquid form of Trimox with a dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
Take all of the Trimox that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated.
Missed Dose:
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, and take the rest of the day's doses at evenly spaced intervals. However, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the dose you missed and take the rest of the doses for the day as directed. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Overdose:
Seek emergency medical attention if an overdose is suspected.
Symptoms of an Trimox overdose may include muscle spasms or weakness, pain or twitching, pain in the fingers or toes, loss of feeling in the fingers or toes, seizures, confusion, coma, or agitation.
What should I avoid while taking Trimox:
There are no restrictions on food, beverages, or activity during treatment with Trimox unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Possible Side Effects:
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe or bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps during treatment with Trimox.
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Trimox and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
- an allergic reaction (shortness of breath; closing of the throat; hives; swelling of the lips, face, or tongue; rash; or fainting);
- seizures;
- or unusual bleeding or bruising.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Trimox and talk to your doctor if you experience
- mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain;
- white patches on the tongue (thrush/yeast infection);
- itching or discharge of the vagina (vaginal yeast infection);
- black, "hairy" tongue or sore mouth or tongue.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Storage:
Store the tablets and capsules at room temperature and store the suspension in the refrigerator for longer use. The suspension is good for 7 days at room temperature and for 14 days if stored in the refrigerator. Throw away any unused liquid after this amount of time.
What other drugs will affect Trimox:
Before taking Trimox, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following drugs:
- another antibiotic (for the same or for a different infection);
- methotrexate (Rheumatrex);
- allopurinol (Zyloprim);
- or probenecid (Benemid).
You may not be able to take Trimox, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you are taking any of the medicines listed above.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with Trimox. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.
