A member asked:
Can i take amoxil 500mg x4 a day for dental infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, if your prescription is not written for this infection for you by a provider not good to treat yourself. Glad you asked. Check with your dentist. Tooth infections tend to be from anaerobic bacteria and Amoxil may not be effective.
