What is Amoxicillin?

Amoxicillin is a type of penicillin antibiotic available in capsule or liquid form and is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Please note that The Online Clinic does not prescribe any of the liquid formulations.

Amoxicillin is also available under many brand names including Amoxil^®.

You should not take antibiotics if you have a common cold or flu as they will have no impact on these viral illnesses.

How does Amoxicillin work?

Amoxicillin works by preventing the growth of bacteria. Specifically, Amoxicillin acts by blocking bacteria from forming cell walls. Although Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, it will not work against all infections.

Make sure that you go to the correct consultation channel when you start the process to request a prescription. We will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your symptoms.

Are there any side effects of Amoxicillin?

The most common side effects are diarrhoea, nausea and skin rash. Less frequent side effects include itching, urticaria and vomiting. Most people will not get any side effects whatsoever and for most people it is a well-tolerated medication.

Can anyone use Amoxicillin?

If you are allergic to penicillin or have kidney or liver problems, then you should avoid using Amoxicillin. Please make our doctor aware of any allergies or other important medical details on our consultation form.
