Description

Amoxil is a penicillin antibiotic oral tablet usually pink in color. We have the generic alternative Amoxicillin (the main active ingredient found in Amoxil) available for purchase in 250mg and 500mg.  

This medication is used to treat a number of bacterial infections. Some conditions would include tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, as well as infections found in the ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract. It can also be used to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection when used in combination with clarithromycin (Biaxin, another antibiotic).

It will not do much for viral infections (such as common cold and the flu). It will only be effective for bacterial infections as amoxicillin works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
