Question:

Whats the difference between doxycycline and amoxicillin?


Answers:

Doxycycline is an antibiotic in the tetracycline family, while amoxycillin is a type of penicillin. They both fight bacterial infections in different ways by targeting different parts of the germ's metabolism.

Doxycyline is effective against some bacteria but not others, and so is amoxycillin. Some bacterial infections can just as easily be treated with either antibiotic.
