- What is Amoxicillin medication?
Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic prescribed to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It stops the bacteria’s growth by breaking down their cell walls, making it easier for your immune system to clear the infection. Here are some common conditions that Amoxicillin treats:
- Respiratory Infections: Pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, and strep throat treatment
- Tonsillitis
- Urinary tract infection
- Skin infection
- Amoxicillin for ear infections
- Tooth infections
- Amoxicillin for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
When Amoxicillin is used for a UTI, you can expect symptom relief fairly quickly, often within the first 24 to 48 hours after starting the antibiotic. However, it’s important to note that everyone’s body is different. If the UTI is mild, symptoms may improve in a day. If the UTI is more severe or has spread to the kidneys, it might take a couple of days of treatment before you feel a lot better.
- Amoxicillin for pneumonia
The exact dose and duration of amoxicillin for pneumonia depend on your age, weight, how serious the infection is, and your kidney function. It’s important to complete your 10-day course even if your symptoms have improved.
- Amoxicillin for strep throat
For strep throat caused by group A Streptococcus (GAS), Amoxicillin is a first-line treatment in many guidelines. It helps clear the infection, reduces how long you feel sick, and lowers the risk of complications like rheumatic fever.
- Amoxicillin for a sinus infection
Not every sinus infection needs antibiotics, so a provider has to decide if amoxicillin is truly necessary. Your doctor will review your health history, risk factors, and any allergies before choosing the safest strength and length of treatment.
- Can you get Amoxicillin over-the-counter in Canada?
No, you cannot get Amoxicillin over the counter in Canada. Amoxicillin is a prescription-only antibiotic, which means a licensed healthcare provider in Canada must assess you and decide if it is appropriate before you can get it. Taking Amoxicillin without a prescription can increase the side effects, making it less effective for future infections (causing antibiotic resistance).
- Get Amoxicillin via telemedicine in Canada
Obtaining a prescription for Amoxicillin via telemedicine is legal in Canada, provided a licensed healthcare provider writes the prescription. Your Doctors Online follows CPSO guidelines according to which you can get uncontrolled medication online, if medically appropriate.
- Does Amoxicillin make you tired?
Fatigue is not a typical side effect of Amoxicillin. If you feel tired while taking Amoxicillin, it may be due to the infection your body is fighting, rather than the medication itself. If you experience extreme fatigue after taking Amoxicillin capsules or granules, it’s important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take for Amoxicillin 500 mg for a UTI to work?
Amoxicillin 500 mg starts working quickly at the microscopic level. However, you may not immediately feel the effects of the treatment. The drug quickly starts inhibiting bacterial growth, but you wouldn’t observe the improvement in symptoms until 48 hours. In fact, for most people, it takes about 72 hours after taking Amoxicillin for UTI to improve overall health.
Can you take Amoxicillin 500 mg 3 times a day?
Yes, you can take 500 mg three times a day if prescribed by your doctor. Usually, a 500 mg Amoxicillin is prescribed to be taken three times daily (every 8 hours), which is a standard regimen for sinus infections, UTI, and other bacterial infections in adults. However, you should never increase or decrease your dose on your own. Always follow your antibiotic prescription to avoid a healthcare emergency.
Is Amoxicillin 250 mg enough for the treatment of a tooth infection?
A 250 mg dose of Amoxicillin for a tooth infection (dental abscess) may not be sufficient. Adult strength for dental infections is typically 500 mg, whereas 250 mg may be used only in children or very mild cases under specialist guidance. Need help with a tooth infection? Talk to our primary care provider from your home and get a prescription within 5 minutes.
Is Amoxicillin better than Azithromycin?
Amoxicillin and Azithromycin fight different bacteria, so the best one depends on what kind of infection you have. Doctors usually use Amoxicillin first to treat strep throat. Whereas, Azithromycin prescription is often taken once a day for only 5 days, which can be easier for some people. It can also be used for people who are allergic to penicillin.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Amoxicillin?
It’s important to take antibiotics according to the specific instructions of your doctor. However, if you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not double up on doses to make up for the missed pill, as it increases the risk of side effects.
What happens if I accidentally take too much Amoxicillin?
Taking Amoxicillin exactly as your doctor prescribes helps you stay safe and lowers the chance of side effects. If you take too much, you may notice stomach problems like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in your urine, such as it looking cloudy. Although it is rare, taking more than prescribed can also affect your nervous system. Book an appointment immediately if you notice the signs of a drug overdose.
