Amoxycillin in bronchitis. Comparison of two versus three daily doses.

Fifty patients with moderate or severe bronchitis were randomly allocated into groups receiving orally either 1000 mg amoxycillin twice daily or 750 mg three times daily. Overall cure rates (both 92%) and the incidence of side-effects (4% and 8%, respectively) were similar in both groups. A twice daily regimen, therefore, seems to be as effective as conventional treatment and has the advantage of being more convenient for the patient.
