Amoxicillin is one of the most widely used antibiotics in the world. It belongs to the penicillin family and is used to treat many common infections caused by bacteria.

What is it used for?
- Chest infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia
- Ear, nose, sinus and throat infections
- Urinary tract (bladder) infections
- Skin and dental infections
- Clearing H. pylori stomach infection, together with other medicines
How does it work?
Bacteria are protected by a strong outer wall. Amoxicillin stops bacteria from building this wall, so they break apart and die. This lets your body get rid of the infection.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not take it if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this antibiotic or to a similar one.
- Antibiotics only work on infections caused by bacteria. They do not help colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses.
- Take the whole course your doctor gives you, even if you feel better after a few days. Stopping early can let the infection come back and make germs harder to treat in the future.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breastfeeding.
- Never share your antibiotics or keep leftovers for another time.
- Do not take it if you are allergic to penicillin. Tell your doctor if you have ever reacted to any antibiotic, including cephalosporins such as cephalexin.
- Tell your doctor if you have glandular fever (mononucleosis), because this medicine is very likely to cause a rash in that case.
- Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, as your dose may need to be lower.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Amoxil can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Feeling sick (nausea) or being sick
- Diarrhoea or loose stools
- Stomach ache or indigestion
- Mild itchy rash
- Thrush (a yeast infection) in the mouth or vagina
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Severe diarrhoea that is watery or has blood in it, even up to 2 months after you finish the medicine
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, wheezing or trouble breathing
- A skin rash that blisters or peels, with fever and sore mouth or eyes
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it exactly as your doctor tells you, usually 2 or 3 times a day, spaced evenly through the day.
- Swallow the capsule or tablet with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food.
- A common adult dose is 250 mg to 500 mg three times a day, or 500 mg to 875 mg twice a day, but your doctor will choose the right dose for your infection.
- Most courses last 5 to 10 days. Keep taking it until the course is finished.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and carry on as normal. Never take two doses at once to make up.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
- QHow quickly will Amoxil start to work?
- A
Most people start to feel better within 2 to 3 days. If you do not feel better after 3 days, or you feel worse, talk to your doctor.
- QCan I drink alcohol while taking Amoxil?
- A
A small amount of alcohol does not stop amoxicillin from working, but alcohol can make you feel worse while your body is fighting an infection. It is best to avoid it until you are well.
- QDoes Amoxil stop the contraceptive pill from working?
- A
Amoxicillin is not known to stop the pill working. But if it gives you diarrhoea or makes you sick, the pill may not be absorbed properly, so use condoms as well until your next pack.
- QIs Amoxil safe for children?
- A
Yes, children can take amoxicillin, usually as a liquid. The dose is based on the child's weight and must be worked out by a doctor.
