¨ Gonorrhoea : A single dose of 3 g, often with 1 g probenecid in the
treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhoea in areas where the pathogen is
sensitive to Amoxicillin.
¨ Prophylaxis of endocarditis in susceptible patients : A single dose of
3 g about 1 hour before procedures such as dental extraction.
Children dosage :
¨ Children up to 10 years of age may be given the equivalent of 125 to
250 mg three times daily.
¨ Children weighing 20 kg or more should be given doses according to
the recommended dosage for adults.
¨ Children under 20 kg body weight a dose of 20 to 40 mg per kg daily
has been suggested.

dose, i.e., 1.5 g about 1 hour before procedures such as dental
extraction.
Contraindication
Tycil is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to
penicillins.
Precautions
In presence of gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhoea and vomiting,
absorption of oral preparation is doubtful. Like all broad-spectrum
antibiotics, superinfection may occur in association with Amoxicillin. In
such cases treatment with Amoxicillin should be discontinued and
appropriate therapy to combat superinfection should be instituted.
Side Effects
Side effects, as with other penicillins, are rare and usually of mild and
transient in nature. Skin rashes may appear to some patients. This must be
reported to the physician and treatment should be discontinued.
Gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhoea have occasionally been
observed. These usually subside on continuation of therapy. Incidence of
persistent diarrhoea should be reported to the physician.
