How Does Amoxicillin Work?

Bacteria are microscopic single-cell microbes that surround us. Some of them are helpful, for instance, some bacteria in help in the breakdown of food in the intestines. However, when some bacteria enters the body either through the airway, mouth, eyes, or urogenital openings, they can cause infections. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria. It kills them and relieves the body from all the symptoms of bacterial infections.

It is most commonly used to treat nose, ear, and throat infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and tonsils.
