Amoxicillin 500MG
What is Amoxicillin?
Amoxicillin is one of the most widely prescribed antibiotics in the United States — a penicillin-type antibiotic used to treat a broad range of common bacterial infections including strep throat, ear infections, sinus infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), pneumonia, H. pylori (as part of combination therapy), skin infections, and dental infections. Amoxicillin works by blocking bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing bacteria to die. It is effective against many gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. Typical adult doses range from 500–875 mg two to three times daily for 7–14 days depending on the infection. Available as capsules, tablets, chewable tablets, and oral suspension. A licensed provider can diagnose your infection and prescribe amoxicillin through Rx.com telehealth. Generic amoxicillin is very affordable — often under $10 with an Rx.com coupon.Side Effects

What Is Amoxicillin?
Amoxicillin is an oral aminopenicillin antibiotic and one of the most frequently prescribed antibiotics worldwide. It offers broad-spectrum coverage against common gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, is well-tolerated across all age groups, and is available in multiple formulations — making it the go-to antibiotic for many common infections in both adults and children.
What Does Amoxicillin Treat?
- Strep throat (pharyngitis / tonsillitis) — first-line treatment
- Ear infections (acute otitis media) — first-line in children and adults
- Sinus infections (acute bacterial sinusitis)
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) — uncomplicated bladder infections
- Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) — mild cases
- H. pylori eradication — part of triple or quadruple therapy for peptic ulcers
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- Dental infections and prophylaxis
- Lyme disease — early-stage treatment
How Does Amoxicillin Work?
Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) — enzymes bacteria use to build their cell walls. By blocking PBPs, amoxicillin prevents the final cross-linking step of peptidoglycan synthesis. Without a functional cell wall, the bacteria swell, lyse (burst), and die. It is bactericidal — it kills bacteria, not just slows them down.
Dosage Overview
- Adults — mild to moderate infections: 500 mg every 12 hours or 250 mg every 8 hours
- Adults — more severe infections: 875 mg every 12 hours or 500 mg every 8 hours
- Strep throat: 500 mg twice daily or 1,000 mg once daily for 10 days
- Children: 25–90 mg/kg/day in divided doses (age and weight-based)
Amoxicillin can be taken with or without food. Complete the full course — stopping early promotes resistance.
