Amoxicillin for Oral Suspension

How to Order Prescriptions

---

Description 

A prescription oral antibiotic suspension containing amoxicillin, a penicillin-class medication designed to help treat bacterial infections. Each 5 mL of the reconstituted liquid delivers 250 mg of amoxicillin, and the 80 mL bottle is easy to dose for patients who require a liquid form. Amoxicillin works by stopping the growth of susceptible bacteria and is commonly used for infections of the ear, throat, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin when caused by bacteria. Shake well before use and take exactly as directed by a healthcare provider.
