Confirming Your Eligibility for Over-the-Counter Purchase

Check your local pharmacy regulations. Amoxicillin availability varies by region. Canadian pharmacies may have different rules than those in your area. Contact your local pharmacy to confirm if you can purchase amoxicillin over the counter.

Review your medical history. Amoxicillin is generally not recommended for individuals with known allergies to penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Pre-existing kidney or liver conditions may also affect suitability. Speak to a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
