Amoxicillin, an antibiotic, is used to treat a wide variety of infections, including: gonorrhea, middle ear infections, skin infections, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, and infections of the genital and urinary tract.

How does Amoxicillin work?

Amoxicillin makes the cell wall (skin) of the bacteria leaky and kills the bacteria.

How to use Amoxicillin Antibiotics

Amoxicillin comes as a capsule. It is usually taken every 8 hours (three times a day). Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Amoxicillin exactly as directed. Amoxil capsules should be swallowed whole and taken with a full glass of water. Continue to take Amoxicillin even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Amoxicillin without talking to your doctor.

Amoxicillin precautions

If you have ever had an allergic reaction to another penicillin or to a cephalosporin, do not take Amoxicillin without first talking to your doctor. Before taking Amoxicillin, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, or stomach or intestinal disease. Amoxicillin is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Amoxicillin is generally considered to be safe for use during pregnancy. Do not, however, take Amoxicillin without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. Amoxicillin passes into breast milk. Although serious problems have not been reported, rarely, Amoxicillin may cause a yeast infection, diarrhea, or an allergic reaction in a nursing infant, although no serious harm is expected.
