Tonsillitis most often develops as a result of a bacterial attack. With severe symptoms of the disease, an adult patient is prescribed antibiotic tablets during a sore throat. Consider what preparations are considered the most effective.
What are the penicillin antibiotics to drink with sore throat?
Penicillin preparations
Most of the bacteria that cause angina are hypersensitive to the penicillin group of drugs. Therefore, in the first place, the doctor prescribes funds, the active substance of which are derivatives of penicillin.
Amoxicillin provides destruction of the cell walls of bacteria. As a result, not fully formed pathogenic microorganisms quickly die. Take an antibiotic with angina in adults 3 tablets daily at regular intervals. Dosage for one dose is 500 mg. Treatment usually lasts from 5 days to 1.5 weeks. In case of severe infection, dosage is selected individually.
