Hello, Dee! How are you?

Betamox contains the active ingredient Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. Since you don't know what kind of insect it was, that's most likely why you were told to take this, to prevent infection.

Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
