Administering Amoksiklav after dilution with tap water can be risky.
Antibiotics such as Amoksiklav should be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions, which usually involves using boiled water at the right temperature. The manufacturer usually recommends using boiled or sterile water to avoid the risk of microbial contamination. Tap water, depending on its quality, may contain microorganisms or substances that can affect the stability of the drug. Improper preparation can lead to inadequate dosages and potential side effects.
In this situation, it is recommended to consult a doctor – you may need to prepare a new dose according to the instructions.
