Amoxil is a well-known brand of amoxicillin, a common active ingredient indicated for the treatment of a bacterial infection. The same ingredient is also sold under the name Amplat.

Buying Amoxil online
Generic amoxicillin, often manufactured in India, serves as a more affordable option for those living far from a reliable pharmacy. Given the specific nature of this medication, it is best used under a doctor’s care to ensure the approach remains aligned with individual care requirements.
Do I get the original Amoxil?
No. SGMeds ships a generic with the same active ingredient (amoxicillin) at the strength you choose, not the original Amoxil made by GSK. We use the brand name so you can find the medicine, and the generic's manufacturer varies with stock.
How is Amoxil priced?
Amoxil comes in 250, 500, 625 and 1000mg strengths, in packs of 10 to 270 capsules. Each option's price is shown on this page in Singapore dollars, converted from US dollars, so the exchange rate can change the final amount. Larger packs work out cheaper per capsule.

- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Amoxicillin) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- A regulated generic matches the original ingredient for ingredient by legal standard.
