Amoxycillin Sandoz is indicated in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. Notes: Therapy should be guided by bacteriologic studies including sensitivity tests and by clinical response. Amoxycillin alone or in combination with another antibiotic, may be used in an emergency where the causative agent has yet to be identified. Amoxycillin Sandoz 1000mg tablets have not been shown to be bioequivalent to the 500mg and 250mg capsule formulations given in equivalent doses. Therefore, Amoxycillin Sandoz 1000mg tablets and other forms of amoxycillin are not considered interchangeable. Infections caused by pathogens with established penicllin G susceptibility should preferentially be treated with penicillin G.
