Abstract

Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that contains a beta-lactam ring in its chemical structure and can inhibit the formation of bacterial cell walls. Due to the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating diseases, people utilize this drug widely. This study aims to investigate the consumption rate of amoxicillin and its impact on humans in the Faizabad city of Badakhshan province. Interviews were conducted between January and March 2024 by using structured questionnaires. In total, 116 informants from 93 households were interviewed and respondents were selected randomly. The results revealed that residents of this city used amoxicillin to treat nine types of diseases, such as throat inflammation, tooth infections, stomach infections, ear infections, and kidney infections. The highest impact of amoxicillin was reported on throat inflammation (20%), tooth infections (19.9%), stomach infections (19.5%), ear infections (18.3%), kidney infections (7.2%), chest infections (7%), and the lowest impact was observed on the common cold (3,6%), urinary tract infections (3%), and sinusitis (1,3%).
