To get amoxicillin, you need a prescription from a doctor. Several options are available:
- Your GP (General Practitioner): This is the most common route. Book an appointment online or by phone. Describe your symptoms clearly. Walk-in clinic or urgent care centre: These offer same-day appointments for non-emergency situations. Check their websites for opening times and availability. Online doctor services: Many reputable online services provide consultations and prescriptions. These are convenient but always ensure they’re registered with the General Medical Council (GMC).

Choosing an Online Doctor Service
If using an online service:
Verify their GMC registration. Read reviews from other patients. Check their fees and prescription delivery options. Ensure they have a secure system for handling personal medical information.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Be prepared to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any current medications. The doctor will assess your condition and decide if amoxicillin is the appropriate treatment. They may also recommend alternative options or further investigations.
After Receiving Your Prescription
You can usually collect your prescription from a pharmacy. Many pharmacies offer a prescription delivery service.
