Amoxil Pills (Brand and Generic)
Amoxil is the trade name for an antibiotic from the penicillin group, the active ingredient of which is Amoxicillin. Amoxicillin is one of the most popular and effective antibacterial bactericidal drugs, with which many bacterial infections have been successfully treated for half a century.
Dosage
Amoxicillin is available in the strength of 250 mg and 500 mg oral capsules and 250 mg/5 ml/100 ml and 250 mg/5 ml/150 ml powder for suspension. Amoxicillin 250 mg is also available as chewable tablets.
Usage
Amoxil (Amoxicillin) is a prescription penicillin antibiotic medication used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections such as tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin or urinary tract. It is also used to treat dental abscesses and it is sometimes combined with Clarithromycin to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Amoxicillin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This medication is only used to treat bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections such as the common cold and flu. Amoxil starts working on the bacteria causing the infection immediately, but you will not feel better right away. It may take up four to five days before your symptoms improve. Take Amoxil exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not share your antibiotics with others and do not save them for later.
