Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Amoxicilline is an antibiotic with broad spectrum from gram negative ( e coli) to gram positive .
It cures even UTI but is not first line for UTI.
It is not preferable by us doctors due to more side effects in UTI than others such fluorcinolones.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
