Amoxicillin requires a prescription from a registered Australian medical practitioner. You cannot buy it over the counter.
To obtain a prescription, schedule a consultation with a doctor. This can be done in person at a clinic or via telehealth appointments.
Your doctor will assess your symptoms and medical history to determine if amoxicillin is the appropriate treatment. They may conduct tests to confirm a diagnosis.
After the consultation, if amoxicillin is prescribed, your doctor will provide you with a prescription. This prescription will contain details like dosage, frequency, and duration of treatment. It will also identify the specific amoxicillin product to be dispensed.
Present this prescription to a registered pharmacist at a pharmacy to obtain your medication. Pharmacists can answer questions about your medication and how to take it correctly.
Never share your prescription medication with others. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely, completing the full course of antibiotics even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Incorrect use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance.
If you have any concerns about your prescription or experience adverse effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
