Amoxicillin 500mg

For some chest infections, yes. The EU-harmonised product information for amoxicillin (the EMA's 2015 review of Amoxil) lists community-acquired pneumonia and acute flare-ups of chronic bronchitis among its uses. It does not work against viral infections such as colds and flu, so a doctor needs to confirm a bacterial infection and set the dose and course length.

Amoxicillin is authorised for children, but for a child under 40 kg the prescriber works out the dose from body weight, and the medicine is also made as an oral liquid. We don't stock the oral liquid, so a child's antibiotic should be prescribed and supplied by their own doctor or pharmacist.

Amoxicillin 500mg starts from €43.00. Several pack sizes are available — the larger the pack, the lower the per-unit price. European delivery is free on orders over €110, otherwise €20 standard (3–5 working days to most countries, 2–7 by country).

Orders ship in plain, unbranded packaging from our European fulfilment hub, usually within one working day of payment clearing. Standard delivery reaches all 27 EU + 3 EEA countries in 3–5 working days to most of them (2–7 depending on the country); express (1–2 working days) is also available. For EU orders, VAT and duties are settled at checkout via IOSS, so there are no surprise bills on arrival.

The active ingredient in Amoxicillin 500mg is Amoxicillin. Always read the patient information leaflet and consult a doctor or pharmacist before first use.

Choose your method at checkout: secure bank/SEPA transfer or PayPal. You'll receive clear payment confirmation by email, and we dispatch within one working day of payment clearing.

Yes. Every order ships in plain, unbranded outer packaging — nothing on the outside indicates the contents or the pharmacy.

It is a first-line treatment for many bacterial infections: chest infections such as bronchitis and community pneumonia, middle-ear infections, sinusitis, dental abscesses, and some urinary infections. It is also part of standard H. pylori therapy. It does not treat viral illnesses, so a bacterial diagnosis from a doctor should come first.

Typical courses described in the leaflet run around five to seven days, though some infections need longer and your doctor sets the exact length. Whatever the duration, complete it fully — stopping when you feel better leaves the hardiest bacteria alive and increases the chance of relapse and antibiotic resistance.

Amoxicillin can be taken with or without food, as the leaflet says. Take the doses at the times your doctor set and finish the course.

Alcohol does not stop amoxicillin working, but it can aggravate nausea and stomach upset and dehydrate you. Ask your doctor about drinking during the course.

Yes — amoxicillin is a prescription-only antibiotic. It is unsuitable for penicillin-allergic people, interacts with several medicines, and only works on bacterial infections a doctor can identify. We ship sealed manufacturer packs, but you need a doctor's assessment and a valid prescription before starting any antibiotic.

Only if the tablet is scored and your prescriber has advised it. Unscored or film-coated tablets can split unevenly, giving unreliable doses. If your regimen calls for 250mg, order that strength directly — we stock Amoxicillin 250mg — rather than halving 500mg tablets and hoping the pieces are equal.

With normal kidney function, amoxicillin's half-life is about 60–90 minutes, meaning the drug is almost entirely cleared within 24 hours of your last dose. Kidney impairment slows this down considerably, which is why doses are reduced or spaced further apart for people with kidney disease.

Amoxicillin is a prescription antibiotic across the EU, and rules on importing medicines for personal use vary by country. You are responsible for knowing your local regulations, and we always recommend using antibiotics under a doctor's direction. Kam4eu supplies genuine, batch-traceable packs with full leaflets for informed use.
