Frequently asked questions about amoxicillin

Amoxicillin is a prescription antibiotic that is used to treat certain bacterial infections. It is part of a drug class known as penicillin-like antibiotics. Penicillin antibiotics like amoxicillin work by destroying the bacterial cell walls, killing the bacteria as a result. Healthcare professionals use amoxicillin to treat infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, gonorrhea, urinary tract infections, certain skin infections, and infections of the ears, nose, and throat.

Amoxicillin is currently available under the brand names Amoxil, Larotid, Amoxicot, Moxilin, and Moxatag. It comes in the form of a tablet, a chewable tablet, an extended-release tablet, and powder for suspension.

Amoxicillin is used to treat bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, gonorrhea, urinary tract infections, certain skin infections, certain sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, and infections of the ears, nose, and throat. It can also be used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori bacteria, a bacteria that causes ulcers.

Less commonly, amoxicillin can be used to treat certain tickborne illnesses like Lyme disease.

Although amoxicillin is effective against a number of bacterial infections, it will not work against viral infections such as the cold or flu.

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic, which means it works by stopping the bacteria from forming protective cell walls; in other words, amoxicillin prevents the bacteria from putting on its armor. Since the bacteria can’t build a strong cell wall, holes start to appear in its membrane, which then allows the immune system to attack the infection more easily.

The most common side effects of amoxicillin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, changes in taste, and headaches. You should also call your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms, as you may be experiencing a more severe adverse or allergic reaction:

  • Skin rash
  • Itching
  • Hives
  • Blisters or skin peeling
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Swelling
  • Severe diarrhea

This is not a complete list of adverse effects, although these are among the most common. Seek medical attention right away if you experience any unusual symptoms while taking amoxicillin.

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor or health care professional about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, as well as any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with amoxicillin.

If you have an allergy to penicillins or cephalosporin antibiotics (e.g., cefaclor, cefadroxil, cephalexin, Ceftin®, or Keflex®), tell your doctor before using amoxicillin. Other conditions, such as severe kidney disease, can impact the strength of amoxicillin in your body. People who have kidney disease must take smaller doses of antibiotics than people who have healthy kidneys.

Amoxicillin can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. These drug interactions include other antibiotics, allopurinol (Lopurin, Zyloprim), anticoagulants (blood thinners) like warfarin, oral contraceptives (birth control pills), and probenecid (Probalan in Col-Probenecid).

Although lactation research shows that amoxicillin produces low levels in breastmilk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants, you should still consult with your doctor if you are breastfeeding before taking amoxicillin. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.

Amoxicillin comes in the form of a tablet, a chewable tablet, an extended-release tablet, and powder for suspension. The average dose can range from 250mg to 875mg and be taken between two to three times a day. However, this can differ depending on your age, weight, and diagnosis, so you should only take the medicine as directed by your doctor.

If you are prescribed the oral suspension (liquid), be sure to shake it well before consuming it to mix it well. Use the measuring spoons or cups provided with the medication to ensure correct dosing.

If you are prescribed chewable tablets, make sure you crush or chew them thoroughly before swallowing. If you have Phenylketonuria (PKU), be sure to tell your doctor; chewable tablets are sweetened with aspartame, which can be extremely dangerous to patients with PKU.

If you are prescribed non-chewable or extended-release tablets, swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water; do not chew or crush them. You should call your doctor if your symptoms worsen or if you do not start feeling better after the first few days of amoxicillin treatment.

Amoxicillin should be stored in a closed container at room temperature, away from extreme heat, extreme cold, moisture, and direct light, and keep it out of the reach of children.

To prevent your infection from becoming resistant to antibiotics, you should continue taking amoxicillin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. Do not skip doses or stop taking amoxicillin, and follow your doctor’s instructions closely.

No, amoxicillin is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed healthcare provider.
