Amoxil is the brand name for amoxicillin, a common antibiotic. It fights bacterial infections by stopping bacteria from reproducing. Doctors prescribe it for various ailments, including ear infections, strep throat, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
How Amoxil Works
Amoxicillin works by interfering with the creation of bacterial cell walls. Without these walls, the bacteria cannot survive. This targeted action makes it effective against a wide range of bacteria but does not impact human cells.
Important Considerations
Always take Amoxil exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better, to prevent the infection from returning or becoming resistant. Report any allergic reactions, such as rash or difficulty breathing, immediately. Amoxicillin can interact with other medications; inform your doctor of all your current prescriptions and over-the-counter medications. Pregnancy and breastfeeding should also be discussed with your doctor before taking Amoxil.
