Amoxil is not only medication for fighting against infections. We do not mention here targeted medications applied in a couple of diseases, Amoxil has a number of alternatives.

Any of these alternatives are successful drugs, for example, tetracycline. It is very often applied, if the patient has an allergy to Amoxil. However, this medication works in different way, without bacteria destroying, just interferes with their reproduction. Sometimes it may slow the patient’s recover. Besides, tetracycline use may change the color of teeth enamel in children.

Erythromycin is comparable to Amoxil by action spectrum, but it is not as safe as Amoxil. Its use, especially long-term, may lead to hearing impairment.

Chloramphenicol used to be very popular drug, today is applied very seldom. Amoxil is much safer than it; besides, chloramphenicol is worse than Amoxil by action on bacteria.

So, if consider objectively, Amoxil is the most convenient antibiotic affecting widespread bacteria. In contrast to many other alternatives, it can be used in children, so Amoxil is the best selection to have it at home.
