 [ Symptoms ] can i take amoxicillin to cure uti  i was hospitalized for one back in 2007 so i know what it feels like i have extra medixcation left from a amoxicillin from an injury can this be taken to cure the uti [ Disease ] i would not recommend that you use an antibiotic for a self diagnosed uti since they are not always the same utis can be caused by different microorganisms and amoxicillin may not be appropriate for this one amoxicillin is a broad spectrum antibiotic but it is not the first choice for most clinicians for a simple uti many women i am guessing you are female can have classic symptoms of a uti but only about half really have a true urinary tract infection the proper way to treat a uti is to have a urinalysis and culture first to know a what type of organism is causing the infection and b what type of antibiotic would be best to treat it
