Amix is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, including sinusitis, strep throat, pneumonia, respiratory tract, ear infections, dental abscesses, and skin infections. Amix may also be used to treat STDs like gonorrhea and syphilis, infections of the genital and urinary tract. Amix kills bacteria by destroying the cell walls of the invading microorganisms. However, antibiotics like Amix are not effective against viruses and fungi and there are a number of bacteria, the so-called super bugs, that are resistant to penicillin antibiotics including Amix. Amix injection is used to treat more serious infections.
