    Glossary Oral Antibiotics

    medications taken by mouth to treat bacterial infections

    Oral antibiotics are medications taken by mouth to treat bacterial infections. They work by either killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth, helping the body's immune system to fight off the infection. Common examples include amoxicillin and doxycycline. These drugs are often prescribed for conditions like strep throat, urinary tract infections, and certain types of skin infections.
