• The medication comes in tablets, chewable tablets, and a suspension (liquid) form. It is taken every 8 or 12 hours, depending on the particular product and dosage.
   
• Take amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium with a meal or a snack, as this helps prevent stomach upset.
   
• Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium suspension should be shaken thoroughly before each dose, as the medication tends to settle to the bottom of the bottle. Also, the suspension should be stored in the refrigerator and discarded after 10 days of being mixed. You may have extra suspension left over after finishing the prescribed course of treatment; this should be discarded immediately.
