I think you mean Amoxicillin and it is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia; bronchitis; gonorrhea; and infections of the ears, nose, throat, urinary tract, and skin.

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that fights infections caused by bacteria. It is a derivative of the penicillin family.
If your doctor has put you on this prescription take it according to his/her directions. Do not stop taking it if you begin to feel better.
