Overview
Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin-type antibiotic introduced in the early 1970s. It inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, causing cell lysis. Known for its excellent oral absorption and mild side-effect profile, it is widely prescribed for bacterial infections in both adults and children.
Uses
Effective against many Gram-positive and some Gram-negative organisms. Indicated for ear, nose, throat, respiratory, urinary-tract, skin, and gastrointestinal infections. It is also combined with clavulanic acid (Augmentin) to overcome beta-lactamase resistance and with clarithromycin and omeprazole to eradicate Helicobacter pylori.Dosage & Administration
Adults: 250–500 mg every 8 hours or 500–875 mg every 12 hours, depending on infection type. Children: 20–40 mg/kg/day in divided doses. Shake suspensions before use and store refrigerated. Complete the full course to prevent resistance.Side Effects & Warnings
Common: nausea, diarrhea, and rash. Rare: allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and antibiotic-associated colitis. Contraindicated in patients with penicillin hypersensitivity.Patient Considerations
Amoxicillin is generally well tolerated but ineffective for viral illnesses. Oral contraceptives may be less effective during therapy—use backup methods.Ready for next steps?
