Amoxil: Your Guide to Understanding Amoxicillin

Amoxil (amoxicillin) is a penicillin-type antibiotic used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are B-lactamase negative (B-lactamase positive bacteria are generally resistant to Amoxil). These infections typically affect the eye, nose, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract. Amoxil comes in the form of a generic drug known as amoxicillin. Amoxil can be made more effective by combining it with other medications, like clavulanic acid (Augmentin).
