Amoxicillin (Amoxil®, Moxatag™) is a prescription antibiotic approved to treat a variety of different infections. Although it is often used by itself, amoxicillin can also be combined with other antibiotics to treat certain infections.
(Click Amoxicillin Uses for more information on what the medication is used for, including possible off-label uses.)
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with amoxicillin. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. Serious side effects are less common.
Some of the possible side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Thrush
- Vaginal yeast infections.
