What is Amoxil best for?

Amoxil, which is just the brand name for amoxicillin, is a real workhorse antibiotic best used for tackling a variety of common bacterial infections. Think of it as a first-line defender against stuff like many ear infections (especially in kids), strep throat, certain types of pneumonia and sinus infections, some skin infections, and even some urinary tract infections. It's also a key player in the drug combo used to knock out H. pylori bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. The key is "bacterial" – it's useless against viruses like colds or the flu, and a doctor needs to make the call if it's the right weapon for the specific bug causing your trouble.
