Publisher's Synopsis
Amoxicillin is a type of antibiotic in the Penicillin class of drugs. It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory, ear, and skin infections. It is also used to treat gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Amoxicillin works by eliminating the infection-causing bacteria. It does this by slowing down the creation of the microbes' cell wall, which in the long run makes the microscopic organisms pass on. Although most people tolerate Amoxicillin well and it is generally safe, it can cause side effects like diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. It's important to tell your doctor about any other medications you're taking because they can interact with them.
