Amoxicillin is the eighth most prescribed drug in America in 2025, and the only antibiotic to make the top 20. It is a penicillin antibiotic prescribed for bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, sinuses, lungs, skin, and urinary tract.
In this episode, Dr. Bryan Ardis walks through the FDA-published side effect profile of amoxicillin straight from the manufacturer’s package insert – diarrhea, nausea, and colitis in 1 in 10 users, black hairy tongue, tooth discoloration, severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, kidney and liver injury, seizures, yeast infections, and serious, occasionally fatal anaphylaxis. Then he lays out the published, research-backed natural alternatives that fight both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, often with far fewer side effects.
