What Is The Substitute Of Amoxicillin 500mg Capsules?
I was prescribed amoxicillin 500mg capsules for my tooth abcession. I wasn't in pain this week but I was last week. I took anvil over the weekend and now the pain is gone but my dad took me to an emergency dentist even though I wasn't in pain. They still prescribed this for me. I have issues taking pills and I was wondering if I could go to my local pharmacy and trade the capsules for chewable amoxicillin?

Read your query.
Yes ,chewable amoxicillin can be taken from the pharmacy.I would advice you to call your dentist office and ask for a prescription, as in most places antibiotics are not given on counter.Amoxil chewable tablets can be available on prescription.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
