yep, with food. I think. No, pretty sure... with food.

Quootiepie · 04/01/2007 00:30

Google says with or without. So with, you can't go wrong.

Pann · 04/01/2007 00:31

so that's a resounding, medically informed "Yes" then?

OP posts:
Pann · 04/01/2007 00:31

Quootiepie · 04/01/2007 00:31

Quootiepie · 04/01/2007 00:32

It would say on the label if you needed to take with food.

Amox is fine with/without food.

Pann · 04/01/2007 10:01

thank you sandcastles - I did read the instructions, but no mention, but I had some kind of recollection that they should be taken with food to aid speed of absorption.

thanks all.
