How it works
Penicillin and amoxicillin inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis, killing Group A Streptococcus pyogenes and preventing spread and rheumatic fever complications.
Only effective for bacterial sore throats (~10–15% of cases). Most sore throats are viral and do not benefit from antibiotics. A throat swab or clinical assessment should guide prescribing decisions.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.
