This medication belongs to a group of drugs called penicillin antibiotics,  which work by blocking the growth of bacteria. Common side effects of amoxicillin  include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache. However, the drug will not work against infections caused by viruses such as cold and flu.
