This antibiotic combination should remain in the system no longer than 48 hours. Effects seen after this time, as diarrhea from inhibition of natural bacteria in the GI tract, do not indicate the drug is still in the system.

Amoxicillin, an analog of ampicillin, is a semisynthetic antibiotic that inhibits the biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide. It has a broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against most strains of aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms [12].

Pharmacokinetics Details in DRUGDEX® Back to top

Absorption

Oral: time to peak concentration, 1 h to 2 h [12]

Distribution

Protein binding: approximately 20% [12]

Excretion

Renal: approximately 60% (mostly unchanged) [12]

Dialyzable: yes (hemodialysis) [12]

Elimination Half Life

61.3 min [12]

This data is from micromedex.

The last number (half-life) will tell you about how long the drug will be available in a non-compromised adult. So after about an hour, 500mg will be left, 2 hours 250mg left, 3 hours 125mg left, and so on. Usually about 4 half-lives will bring the drug down to levels that are non-therapeutic and therefore not significant.

The doctor should state the length you should take Amoxicillin. It can vary from person to person, or depending the sickness. Sometimes it can be 3, 5, 7, or even 10 days.

Half life of amoxicillin is only sixty minutes and kidneys probably clear the blood of amoxicillin in about eight hours.

It should disappear from your system within say twelve hours to twenty four hours from last dose, irrespective of the period you have taken the drug.
