I had some I bought when i was in Mexico last week because i thought i had a sinus infection. I didn't take them.Felt alittle better and then the other night I couldn't stop coughing and the cold got worse and had swollen glands. Pretty sure it is bronchitis because of the green mucus. I could not get an appointment with a dr. until Monday which was very frustrating. I ended up taking the 500mg amoxicillina twice a day yesterday and today. I feel better, but it is not cleared up. But my swollen glands are gone. So, I guess it was okay.

I have done it because of not being able to afford to go to the doctor. Ordered them and kept them on hand. Worked just fine for me. Make sure the co. has been around for a while.

No it is not. Mexican drugs are often different dosages than American drugs and are not held to the same inspection/safety standards enforced by the FDA.
Also, if you are talking about ordering meds online, I advise against it. Many companies have been found to be selling bunk medicine, and since its illegal to buy it to begin with, nothing can be done about it.
Amoxicillan is one of the antibiotics that many chain stores (Walmart, Meijer, etc) are offering for free or extremely cheap. Just a get a prescription from a doctor and take it there.
Good luck and best wishes!

I personally don't trust medicine from Mexico and American amoxicillien fifteen dollars for 30 pills. What ever you do finish the prescription .

Amoxicillin is dirt cheap. Why would you want to take something that may not be safe?
