Amoxicillin 500mg price in south africa?

Prices for amoxicillin 500 mg in South Africa vary a lot by pharmacy, pack size, and whether you’re getting a generic or brand-name product. A rough guide (private sector) is:

- Generic amoxicillin 500 mg capsules, typical 21‑cap bottle: about R40–R90
- Branded versions: roughly R80–R150 for similar packaging
- Other pack sizes (e.g., 28 or 30 capsules) can be a bit more or less depending on the retailer and formulation (capsule vs suspension)

In public sector clinics/hospitals, antibiotics are often dispensed at little to no cost (or a very small co-pay) or may be provided free.

Important: Amoxicillin is a prescription antibiotic in SA, so you’ll need a doctor’s prescription to obtain it.
