Description
Amoxicillin 250 mg is a prescription antibiotic belonging to the penicillin group of medicines. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria, helping the body to fight infection. Amoxicillin is commonly prescribed for a wide range of bacterial infections, including chest infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and dental infections. It may also be used alongside other medicines to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori. The 250 mg strength is often prescribed for children or for adults who require a lower dose. Amoxicillin can be supplied as capsules, tablets, or liquid suspension. It is important to take the medicine exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist and to complete the full course, even if you feel better, to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. Like all antibiotics, amoxicillin should only be used for bacterial infections, not viral illnesses such as colds or flu.
