It is not recommended to crush or dissolve Amoksiklav film-coated tablets. Film-coated tablets have been developed in such a way that the active substances are released gradually in the body after they have been swallowed. Crushing or dissolving the tablet will affect the rate of release of the active substances and may lead to improper absorption of the medicine. In addition, antibiotics are very unpleasant to taste.
To maintain the effectiveness of the drug and avoid potential problems associated with the non-standard way of taking the drug, it is recommended to swallow Amoksiklav tablets whole with water. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. They may offer alternative forms of the medicine, such as syrup or suspension, if available for the form of the medicine.

If you have trouble swallowing large tablets, you should consult your doctor and ask for an antibiotic suspension. If it is not possible to visit the site, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
