About Antibiotics

This category brings together antibacterial and antiparasitic medicines. Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin (a penicillin) and co-trimoxazole (Bactrim) treat infections caused by bacteria — they have no effect on viruses such as colds and flu. Antiparasitics such as Ivermectin treat infections caused by parasites, while Hydroxychloroquine has established roles in malaria and certain autoimmune conditions.

Used correctly, these are essential, effective medicines. Used incorrectly, antibiotics in particular drive antibiotic resistance — a serious global problem. That's why it matters to use them only for the right type of infection, take the full course as directed, and never share or stockpile them. Each product page explains the specific, established use of the active ingredient.

What it's used for

Bacterial infections (chest, ENT, urinary, skin, dental) — Amoxicillin, co-trimoxazole
Certain parasitic infections — Ivermectin
Malaria and some autoimmune conditions — Hydroxychloroquine
Veterinary parasite treatment (animals only) — Fenbendazole

How to choose

The right antibiotic or antiparasitic depends entirely on the specific infection and the organism causing it — this is a medical decision, not a matter of preference. Amoxicillin is a penicillin with an extended spectrum, used for many common bacterial infections but not effective against every bacterium; co-trimoxazole has particular uses including certain urinary and chest infections. Always use the medicine your doctor has indicated for your specific condition, and complete the course.

Safety essentials

Antibiotics only work against bacteria — they do nothing for viral colds or flu, and misuse fuels antibiotic resistance.
Always finish the full prescribed course, even if you feel better, and never share antibiotics.
Tell your doctor about any allergies (especially to penicillin) before taking Amoxicillin or related medicines.
Fenbendazole is a veterinary product for animals only and is not approved for human use.
Use Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine only for their established, approved purposes under medical guidance.

Frequently asked questions

Will antibiotics help a cold or flu?+

No. Colds and most flu are viral, and antibiotics only work against bacteria. Taking them for a viral illness won't help and contributes to antibiotic resistance.

Why must I finish the whole course?+

Stopping early can leave surviving bacteria that cause the infection to return and become resistant. Always complete the course as directed, even once you feel better.

Is Fenbendazole for people?+

No. Fenbendazole is a veterinary antiparasitic for animals only; it is not an approved human medicine. Use it only in animals under a vet's guidance.

Do I need a prescription to buy antibiotics online?+

Yes. Antibiotics are prescription-only medicines throughout the EU and EEA. A doctor should confirm that you have a bacterial infection and choose the right antibiotic for it, and European guidance from the ECDC is never to use leftover antibiotics.

Do you sell trimethoprim on its own?+

No. Trimethoprim is in our range only in combination with sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole), as Bactrim DS. Which antibiotic suits a particular infection is the prescriber's decision.

Important: This is general information, not medical advice. Always read the patient information leaflet and consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.

Amoxicillin and alcohol: what actually happens if you drink

Moderate alcohol doesn't stop amoxicillin working or cause the violent reaction people fear; that belongs to metronidazole. Its product information lists no interaction with alcohol. The caveats: alcohol worsens illness symptoms and slows recovery, and a handful of other antibiotics genuinely are dangerous with drink, so know which one you're holding.

Amoxicillin: uses, dosage and how to take this antibiotic correctly

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic for bacterial infections, including chest, ear, sinus, throat, dental, urinary and some skin infections. It does nothing against colds, flu or other viral illnesses. The dose depends on the infection and is set by your prescriber; take it at evenly spaced times and finish the full course, even if you feel better.

Read guide

Amoxicillin: Uses, Safety and Why You Must Finish the Course

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic for bacterial infections such as chest, ear, nose and throat, urinary and some dental and skin infections. It has no effect on viruses, so it will not help a cold, flu or most sore throats. If it is prescribed, finish the full course: stopping early lets infections return and feeds antibiotic resistance.

Read guide

Ivermectin: Its Established, Approved Uses Explained

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic medicine. Tablets are used for certain parasitic worm infections and for scabies, and sometimes for head lice when other treatments have failed; a cream form treats the bumps and spots of rosacea. The EMA advises against using it for COVID-19 outside clinical trials. A doctor decides the right form and dose.

Read guide

UTI Antibiotics: What to Know Before You Start

Most urinary tract infections are bacterial, so antibiotics are often the right treatment, but a doctor should choose which one. Finish the full course even if you feel better, because stopping early can let the infection return and drive resistance. Fever, back or side pain, chills or blood in the urine can mean a kidney infection: seek prompt help.

Read guide

Ivermectin for Scabies: How This Treatment Works

Ivermectin tablets are an established treatment for scabies: they act on the mite's nervous system to clear the infestation. They are especially useful when creams are hard to apply, in widespread or crusted scabies, or in outbreaks. Close contacts usually need treating at the same time. Ivermectin has no proven role against COVID-19.

Amoxicillin for Dental Infections: What to Understand

Amoxicillin can control a spreading dental infection, but it does not fix the tooth. An abscess usually needs drainage, a filling, root canal treatment or extraction. Antibiotics are mainly for infections causing facial swelling, fever or spread. See a dentist, finish any course prescribed, and get emergency help for swelling that affects breathing or swallowing.

Read guide

Bactrim (Co-trimoxazole): A Guide to This Antibiotic

Bactrim is co-trimoxazole, an antibiotic combining sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. It is used for certain urinary and chest infections and to prevent and treat a specific pneumonia in people with weakened immunity. It contains a sulfonamide, so it is unsuitable if you have a sulfa allergy. Take it only as prescribed and finish the course.

Read guide

Doxycycline: Common Uses and Important Cautions

Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic used for some chest, skin and sexually transmitted infections, and tick-borne infections. It also treats acne and rosacea and prevents malaria for travel. It makes skin burn more easily in sunlight, so cover up and use sunscreen. It is generally not used in pregnancy or young children. Finish the full course, as prescribed.

Read guide

Antibiotic Resistance Explained: Why Finishing the Course Matters

Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria change so that antibiotics no longer kill them, making infections harder to treat. It is the bacteria that become resistant, not your body, so resistant infections can spread between people. Using antibiotics for viral illnesses, stopping courses early and taking leftover antibiotics all speed it up. Use them only as prescribed.

Read guide

UTIs Explained: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options

Most urinary tract infections are caused by bowel bacteria, usually E. coli, reaching the bladder, and they are more common in women. Typical symptoms are burning when passing urine, urgency and cloudy urine. Fever, shivering, back or side pain or confusion can mean a kidney infection and need prompt help. A doctor decides whether antibiotics are needed.

Read guide

Chest Infections and Antibiotics: What You Need to Know

Many chest infections, especially acute bronchitis, are viral and clear without antibiotics, which do nothing against viruses. Bacterial infections such as many cases of pneumonia are more likely to need them, and a doctor decides. Seek urgent help, calling 112 if needed, for severe breathlessness, chest pain, coughing up blood, confusion or bluish lips.

Read guide

Amoxicillin vs Other Penicillins: A Simple Comparison

Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin that is well absorbed by mouth. It is often a first choice for chest, ear, sinus, throat and urinary infections. Penicillin V has a narrower spectrum, flucloxacillin targets skin infections, and adding clavulanic acid widens amoxicillin's reach. A penicillin allergy rules out the whole family, so always tell your prescriber.

Read guide

Bacterial Skin Infections: Types, Symptoms and Care

Most bacterial skin infections, are caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria entering through broken skin. They include impetigo, cellulitis, folliculitis, boils and infected wounds. Many minor ones respond to careful wound care and, if needed, prescribed antibiotics. See a doctor promptly if redness spreads quickly or forms streaks, or if you develop fever or swollen glands.

Read guide

Sinusitis Explained: Causes, Symptoms and Relief

Sinusitis is inflammation of the air spaces behind the cheeks, forehead and nose, causing facial pain, a blocked nose and thick mucus. Most cases follow a cold and are viral, so antibiotics usually don't help, and most improve within two to three weeks with rest, fluids, painkillers and saline rinses. See a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Read guide

Sore Throat: Is It Bacterial or Viral?

Most sore throats are viral, come with a cough, runny nose or hoarse voice, and settle within about a week without antibiotics. A bacterial (strep) throat is more likely with a sudden severe sore throat, little cough, swollen neck glands, pus on the tonsils and fever. Only a healthcare professional can tell reliably and decide on antibiotics.

Azithromycin: A Practical Guide to the Macrolide Antibiotic

Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that stops bacteria making the proteins they need. It is used for some chest, ear, throat, sinus, skin and sexually transmitted infections. It stays in body tissues for a long time, so courses are often short. It is a prescription-only medicine in the EU/EEA and does nothing for colds or flu.

Read guide

Ciprofloxacin: Uses, Cautions and the Tendon Warning

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic reserved for specific infections, such as some complicated urinary and gut infections. That is because of rare but serious, sometimes long-lasting side effects. The EMA advises using fluoroquinolones only when other antibiotics are unsuitable. Stop and seek advice at the first sign of tendon pain or swelling, nerve tingling or mood changes.

Read guide

Metronidazole: Why You Must Avoid Alcohol With This Antibiotic

Metronidazole is an antibiotic for infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and some parasites. These include dental, gut, skin, vaginal and pelvic infections. Avoid all alcohol while taking it and for the time the leaflet states afterwards, because together they can cause flushing, vomiting, headache and a pounding heart. It is a prescription-only medicine in the EU/EEA.

Read guide

Cephalexin: A Guide to the Cephalosporin Antibiotic

Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic, related to penicillin, used for some skin, urinary, respiratory, throat, bone and ear infections. It is a prescription-only medicine in the EU/EEA. Tell your prescriber about any penicillin allergy, because there can be cross-reactivity. Space doses evenly, finish the full course, and remember it does nothing for viral infections.

Read guide

Antibiotics and Alcohol: What's Safe and What Isn't

Most common antibiotics have no dangerous reaction with moderate alcohol, but metronidazole and tinidazole do. Together with alcohol they can cause flushing, vomiting, headache and a racing heart, so avoid alcohol during the course and afterwards. With any antibiotic, alcohol can worsen side effects, disturb sleep and slow your recovery.

Read guide

Antibiotics and the Contraceptive Pill: What You Need to Know

Most common antibiotics, such as penicillins, cephalosporins and macrolides, do not directly make hormonal contraception less effective. The exceptions are enzyme-inducing antibiotics such as rifampicin and rifabutin, which need extra precautions. Vomiting or severe diarrhoea from any antibiotic or illness can stop the pill being absorbed, so follow the leaflet's missed-pill advice.

Read guide

Probiotics After Antibiotics: Restoring Your Gut Balance

Antibiotics can kill helpful gut bacteria too, causing bloating or diarrhoea. Probiotics may reduce antibiotic-related diarrhoea for some people, but the evidence is mixed and depends on the strain. If you try one, take it a couple of hours apart from your antibiotic and continue for a while afterwards. Seek help for severe or bloody diarrhoea.

Read guide

Tonsillitis Explained: Causes, Symptoms and When Antibiotics Help

Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, most often caused by viruses, and usually clears within a week with rest, fluids and pain relief. A bacterial (strep) cause is more likely with high fever and no cough, pus on the tonsils, swollen neck glands and a sudden severe sore throat. A doctor decides whether antibiotics are needed.

Read guide

Ear Infections: Types, Symptoms and Treatment Options

Most ear infections are middle-ear infections after a cold, especially in children, or outer-ear 'swimmer's ear'. Many middle-ear infections are viral or clear on their own, so doctors often advise pain relief and waiting a couple of days before antibiotics. See a doctor for discharge, high fever, severe pain, or symptoms that don't improve.

Read guide

Cellulitis: Recognising a Bacterial Skin Infection Early

Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the deeper skin and tissue, usually on the lower legs, causing red, swollen, warm and tender skin that spreads. It doesn't clear on its own and is almost always treated with antibiotics, so see a doctor promptly. Get urgent help, calling 112 if needed, for fever, rapid spread or feeling very unwell.

Read guide

Dental Abscess: Why It Always Needs a Dentist

A dental abscess is a pocket of pus from a bacterial infection in or around a tooth, causing throbbing pain, swelling and sensitivity. It won't heal on its own, and antibiotics alone don't cure it: a dentist must drain it, do root canal treatment or remove the tooth. Get emergency help for swelling that affects breathing or swallowing.

Read guide

Antibiotics in Pregnancy: Safety, Cautions and Advice

Some infections in pregnancy, such as urinary tract infections, need antibiotics to protect parent and baby. Many antibiotics, including penicillins, are widely used and generally considered suitable, while others are usually avoided at certain stages. A doctor or midwife should always choose the medicine, based on the infection, stage of pregnancy, allergies and breastfeeding.

Read guide

Antibiotic Allergies Explained: Penicillin, Sulfa and Safety

A true antibiotic allergy is an immune reaction such as hives, swelling or breathing difficulty; nausea or an upset stomach is usually a side effect. Penicillins and sulfonamides are among the antibiotics most often linked to allergy. Swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing, is an emergency: call 112.

Read guide

Sinus Infection or Common Cold? How to Tell the Difference

A cold usually clears within one to two weeks, while sinusitis tends to linger with more focused facial pain and pressure. That pain sits around the cheeks, eyes or forehead. Both are mostly viral, so antibiotics rarely help. Symptoms that improve and then suddenly worsen can suggest a bacterial sinus infection; coloured mucus alone does not.

Read guide

Strep Throat: Sorting the Viral from the Bacterial Sore Throat

Most sore throats are viral and clear on their own, while strep throat is a less common bacterial infection. A sudden severe sore throat without a cough or cold, painful swallowing, swollen tonsils with white patches, swollen neck glands and fever point towards strep. Only a healthcare professional can confirm it and decide on antibiotics.
