Oral Antibiotics

Oral antibiotics are systemic medicines, which means they get into the bloodstream and go to areas of the body where the infection is. They are used to treat infections caused by bacteria, such as respiratory tract infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and others. The exact antibiotic prescribed can depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient's health history.
