Medical Overview
Amoxil is listed as Antibiotic containing Amoxicillin. An antibiotic used for selected bacterial infections; it does not treat viral colds.
Amoxil (amoxicillin 500mg) is one of the most-prescribed broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotics in Jordan. It treats bacterial infections only — useless for viral colds/flu — and is prescription-dispensed. Complete the full prescribed course even if you feel better early; stopping early breeds antibiotic resistance.
