Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that treats infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including ear, throat, chest, and urinary tract infections. It works by weakening the bacterial cell wall, causing the bacteria to die. It is one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics due to its broad activity and good tolerability. The full course must be completed even if symptoms improve early.
