Hi cut my finger at work on meat slicer needed 3 stiches on antibotics now is pinamox 500 the right antibotic to take ?

Not really: Pinamox is amoxicillin, which is not usually used to treat skin or wound infections. However, it's generally not necessary to take antibiotics after suturing of a wound, so it may not matter that you're not taking the right antibiotic.
