Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin family, similar to ampicillin. It was introduced by Beecham Research Laboratories in 1972 under the brand name Amoxil. Since then it has been widely prescribed and has a long safety record.

What Amoxicillin is good for?

Amoxicillin is primarily used for upper respiratory tract infections such as strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis), sinusitis, tonsillitis, and otitis media (ear infection).

Amoxicillin is also used to treat urinary tract infections, skin and skin structure infections, and Helicobacter pylori (in combination with clarithromycin and a PPI). It is also useful for the prophylaxis of bacterial endocarditis.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends amoxicillin for the treatment of Chlamydia during pregnancy1.

Pros and Cons to consider

If you decide to buy Amoxicillin or Amoxil online you should know about its benefits and risks:

• It is very safe, but not for everyone. In fact, Amoxicillin is one of the safest antibiotics: it is approved for use in neonates and children, and labeled as "Pregnancy category B". The greatest danger is an allergic reaction, which can be very severe.
• Inexpensive in comparison with many other antibiotics.
• It is better absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract than other penicillins, achieving higher plasma and tissue concentrations.
• Frequently causes rash and gastrointestinal side effects, particularly diarrhea2.

Amoxicillin (Amoxil) is bactericidal. It kills bacteria by interfering with the formation of cell wall. Aminopenicillins have broader spectrum due to their better ability to penetrate the cell membranes of gram-negative bacteria. Amoxicillin is ineffective against penicillinase producing bacteria (particularly Staphylococci).

Amoxicillin is a reasonable initial antibiotic choice in both children and adults with uncomplicated disease. However, if you do not respond in 3 to 5 days the substitution should be considered.

Dosage

Ear, Nose, Throat, Skin, and Urinary Tract Infections

Adults:
For mild to moderate infections: 500 mg every 12 hours or 250 mg every 8 hours.
For severe infections: 500 mg every 8 hours, or 875 mg every 12 hours.

Children 3 months of age or older:
Depending on the severity of infection 20-50 mg/kg daily in divided doses every 8-12 hours.

Otitis media

Amoxicillin remains the first-line antibiotic for uncomplicated acute otitis media since it is highly effective, has relatively narrow microbiologic spectrum, is well distributed into middle ear fluid, and is safe. Amoxicillin is active against S. pneumoniae (including strains with intermediate resistance to penicillins) and most strains of H. influenzae.

Children 3 months of age or older:
80-90 mg/kg daily given in 2 or 3 divided doses for 10 days.

Note: Many uncomplicated episodes of acute otitis resolve spontaneously on their own without suppurative complications.

Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Adults: 500 mg every 8 hours, or 875 mg every 12 hours.

Note: Please, do not expect to get a prescription for Amoxicillin if you have cold, mild sore throat, or other viral infection.

Precautions

• Amoxicillin can be taken with or without food, at evenly spaced intervals.
• Stop taking Amoxicillin and seek medical attention right away if you experience allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face, tongue), trouble breathing.
• Finish the full course of the prescribed Amoxicillin. Don't stop taking the antibiotic when you start feeling better, as bacteria may not be totally killed.
