How to reconstitute amoxicillin?

Nurses Medications

I'm trying to figure out how much water to add to amoxicillin suspension. Unfortunately there is no information on the bottle or on the insert that tells you how to reconstitute it. It's supposed to make 120ml, 250mg per 5ml. I can't find any info anywhere about how much to add to make 120ml. If anyone knows or know where I can find out I'd really appreciate if you could tell me.

Thank you

In my use of amox for peds I know the bottles we get says to reconstitute with 90 ml's total, but to add 1/3 at a time. So I add about 30 ml's at a time, mix then add, it still ends up half mixed, the other half hard, so I usually manually mix it, don't know if I'm using the best technique, but I get it all mixed.
