AMOXICILLIN  (AMOXICILLIN):  Amoxicillin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is a penicillin-type antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. Amoxicillin is also used with other medications to treat stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by the bacteria H. pylori and to prevent the ulcers from returning.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Sinus infection VERY dizzy, tired, lose focus easily, loss of appetite. Normally, amoxicillin doesn't effect me because the dose is much smaller than 500 mg. I'm supposed to take it for 7 days. I'm on the third day and I feel all the symptoms as described above, especially the dizziness. It's borderline unbearable. But on the other hand, the medicine is doing a great job of getting rid of the infection. I just wished that i could have the best of both worlds - no side effects and no infection. If dizziness is something you dread as much as me, don't take it. M 20 3 days

 3  Tooth/gum infection 1st day heart palpitations and tiredness. 2nd day tiredness and headache. I'm sleeping a lot. Eat with or after eating,people. Been in the med field a long time listen to your medical personnel. I'm sure your doctor or pharmacist told you to take with food.
