Indications & Uses
Pharmacology
Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin active against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It works by blocking the bacteria's cell wall formation. Stable in stomach acid, it is absorbed quickly when taken by mouth, with peak blood levels reached within 1 to 2 hours of a dose. From there, it spreads widely through body tissues and fluids, though concentrations vary from one site to another.

Contraindications
Amoxicillin should not be used by patients who are hypersensitive to penicillin.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Amoxicillin falls under FDA pregnancy category B. That said, well-controlled studies in pregnant women are lacking, and since animal studies don't always predict how humans will respond, it's best used in pregnancy only when clearly needed.
