Antibiotics & Antivirals: Medicines, Prices & Where to Buy
The Antibiotics & Antivirals category brings together a range of medicines, including amoxicillin, doxycycline, acyclovir and famciclovir. It also includes products such as ivermectin and mebendazole, extending the category to antiparasitic medicines. Representative pharmacological classes include aminopenicillins, such as amoxicillin, and tetracycline antibiotics, such as doxycycline.
Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam that inhibits cell-wall synthesis, while doxycycline inhibits protein synthesis. Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone antiparasitic, and mebendazole is a benzimidazole anthelmintic.
The category is predominantly prescription-only, with an over-the-counter option represented by clotrimazole. Other prescription-only entries include amoxicillin/clavulanate, ciprofloxacin, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and terbinafine.
