From the Research
I cannot definitively confirm whether amoxicillin suspension manufactured by HIKMA (Hima) is sugar-free without specific product information. Amoxicillin suspensions are available in both sugar-containing and sugar-free formulations depending on the manufacturer and specific product line. To determine if your HIKMA amoxicillin suspension is sugar-free, you should check the medication label or package insert which will list all inactive ingredients. Alternatively, you can contact the pharmacist who dispensed the medication, call HIKMA's customer service directly, or consult the electronic medication information that came with your prescription. This information is important particularly for patients with diabetes, those on sugar-restricted diets, or parents concerned about dental health when giving children antibiotics. Sugar-free formulations typically contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose instead of sugar to improve palatability while avoiding glucose.
