How to get amoxicillin online in 3 steps
Getting an amoxicillin prescription online with Your Doctors Online takes three simple steps, no clinic visit or waiting room required.
Describe your symptoms
Register on our app and tell us what's going on: sore throat, ear pain, sinus pressure, a UTI, or a dental infection.
Talk to a licensed doctor
A board-certified provider reviews your symptoms and medical history over chat or video, 24/7.
Get your e-prescription
If amoxicillin is medically appropriate, your doctor sends the prescription electronically to the pharmacy of your choice, often ready for same-day pickup.
Can you get amoxicillin over the counter?
No. Amoxicillin is a prescription-only antibiotic in the United States — you cannot buy it over the counter at a pharmacy, grocery store, or online retailer. This isn't a technicality: antibiotics are regulated because taking the wrong one, or taking one you don't need, can cause side effects and contribute to antibiotic resistance. A doctor has to confirm that your infection is bacterial (not viral) and that amoxicillin is safe for you before it can be dispensed.
That's the gap Your Doctors Online closes. Instead of booking a same-day slot at an urgent care clinic or walk-in clinic, you connect with a licensed doctor from your phone, describe your symptoms, and get evaluated in minutes. If amoxicillin is the right treatment, the doctor writes the prescription and sends it to your pharmacy electronically, so you skip the waiting room, not the doctor.

Penicillin-class antibioticCan you buy amoxicillin online without a prescription?
No. Amoxicillin is a prescription-only antibiotic, and legitimate U.S. pharmacies — online or otherwise — cannot dispense it without a valid prescription from a licensed provider. Sites that offer to sell it without one are typically unregulated and may sell counterfeit, expired, or unsafe medication. Here's how to tell the two apart:

Infections amoxicillin treats
Amoxicillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic that treats a range of bacterial infections by weakening bacterial cell walls, making it easier for your immune system to clear the infection. It will not work on viral illnesses like the common cold or flu.
| Infection | Why amoxicillin is used | Typical role |
|---|---|---|
| Sinus infections | First-line treatment for bacterial sinusitis, particularly when symptoms last more than 10 days or worsen after initially improving. | First-line |
| Ear infections Otitis media | For middle ear infections, especially in children, amoxicillin is typically the first antibiotic doctors reach for. | First-line |
| Strep throat | Commonly prescribed because it's effective against Streptococcus bacteria and easier to tolerate than some alternatives. | Common option |
| Urinary tract infections UTIs | Can treat certain UTIs, though your doctor will confirm it's appropriate based on the bacteria involved and your history. | Case-by-case |
| Dental infections | Prescribed for tooth infections and abscesses to control the spread of infection, often alongside dental treatment. | Adjunct to care |
Amoxicillin 500mg dosage basics
Amoxicillin comes in several strengths, but 500 mg is one of the most commonly prescribed doses for adults. For many bacterial infections, doctors prescribe 500 mg every 8 hours (three times a day), though the exact dose, frequency, and length of treatment depend on the infection being treated, your age, weight, and kidney function.
It's important to complete the full course your doctor prescribes, even if you start feeling better after a day or two. Stopping early can let the infection come back and make future infections harder to treat.
Amoxicillin side effects and safety
Most people tolerate amoxicillin well, but like any antibiotic, it can cause side effects.
Common, mild effects
Less common, more serious
Seek medical attention right away if you notice any of these more serious reactions.
Tell your doctor if you're allergic to penicillin, pregnant, or taking blood thinners, oral contraceptives, or gout medication, since these can affect whether amoxicillin is safe for you.

Message an online doctorWhat does an online amoxicillin prescription cost?
Your Doctors Online charges $20 for a monthly plan that includes unlimited doctor consultations — there's no separate "prescription fee" on top of that. If a doctor determines amoxicillin is right for you, the prescription itself is free; you'll only pay your pharmacy for the cost of the medication, which varies by pharmacy, dosage form, and insurance coverage.
