Amoxicillin

Amoxicillin belongs to the penicillin family and remains the most commonly prescribed antibiotic in America. This semisynthetic analog of ampicillin treats a wide variety of bacteria. Amoxicillin should not be prescribed for the typical sore throat associated with the common cold.
Amoxicillin with its superior absorption and slightly greater spectrum of activity has largely replaced ampicillin. The drug kills bacteria by interfering with synthesis of their cell wall and by forming free radicals. Most routinely prescribed antibiotics only inhibit growth of microorganisms and require the immune system to complete their removal.
Side effects associated with amoxicillin tend to be relatively mild and prominently include a skin rash and alteration of the intestinal flora which may lead to abdominal upset and diarrhea. Those allergic to penicillin will be allergic to amoxicillin. However a skin rash due to exposure to amoxicillin does not necessarily indicate a penicillin allergy.
Amoxicillin is one of several antibiotics on the American Heart Association list of antibiotics helpful in preventing heart problems due to dental manipulations in susceptible individuals. Amoxicillin also is included in a four drug combination meant to eradicate H. pylori, the bacterium associated with intestinal ulcers.

Do a video on vapor to remove or kill unwanted cells...like in prostate cancer and swelling of the prostate and could probably be modified to treat and cure other cancers 😊

Hello Doctor, is flucloxacillin the same as amoxicillin? Thank you.

[@yaraviera4444]

Since I was born they always had this

[@patrickgalloway5078]

Also explain how meds can shut down your natural body functions that were trying to or were doing what the meds now do ...because your body immune system adjusts to the influx of medication and stops producing your own antibodies....tel people that most meds should be taken only when needed ...not neccessarily on a regular schedule...but used to boost your natural function

Amoxicilan powder I've used for toe wound and it actually worked! toe healed surprisingly. 👍

I developed hives / rash from taking Amoxicillin. Even after stopping it the hives / rash lasted right over six months !

I was prescribed azithromycin 3-4 weeks ago. I got sick again and was now prescribed amox-clav. Am I at risk for developing antibiotic resistance?

[@anthonygreenfield123]

They are different antibiotic groups, I would not worry too much
