Amoxicillin is an antibiotic.Antibiotics have no effect on viruses.
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic.
They are not the same class of drugs.
That is total bullScat !
erythromycin and Doxycycline both have antiviral properties in addition to being antibiotics
Don’t fall for discarding the off label use components of a medication!
Erythromycin is an antibiotic used for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. This includes respiratory tract infections, skin infections, chlamydia infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and syphilis. It may also be used during pregnancy to prevent Group B streptococcal infection in the newborn, as well as to improve delayed stomach emptying. It can be given intravenously and by mouth. An eye ointment is routinely recommended after delivery to prevent eye infections in the newborn.
Common side effects include abdominal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. More serious side effects may include Clostridium difficile colitis, liver problems, prolonged QT, and allergic reactions.It is generally safe in those who are allergic to penicillin Erythromycin also appears to be safe to use during pregnancy. While generally regarded as safe during breastfeeding, its use by the mother during the first two weeks of life may increase the risk of pyloric stenosis in the baby.This risk also applies if taken directly by the baby during this age. It is in the macrolide family of antibiotics and works by decreasing bacterial protein production.
Erythromycin was first isolated in 1952 from the bacteria Saccharopolyspora erythraea. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
In 2017, it was the 215th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than two million prescriptions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ErythromycinDoxycycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline-class antibiotic used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria and certain parasites. It is used to treat bacterial pneumonia, acne, chlamydia infections, Lyme disease, cholera, typhus, and syphilis. It is also used to prevent malaria in combination with quinine.Doxycycline may be taken by mouth or by injection into a vein.
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and an increased risk of sunburn. Use after the first trimester of pregnancy or in young children may result in permanent discoloration of the teeth. Its use during breastfeeding is probably safe. Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, of the tetracycline class.Like other agents of the tetracycline class, it either slows or kills bacteria by inhibiting protein production. It kills malaria by targeting a plastid organelle, the apicoplast.
Doxycycline was patented in 1957 and came into commercial use in 1967. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.Doxycycline is available as a generic medicine. In 2018, it was the 80th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 10 million prescriptions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoxycyclineAntibiotics cannot kill viruses because viruses have different structures and replicate in a different way than bacteria.
Antibiotics work by targeting the growth machinery in bacteria (not viruses) to kill or inhibit those particular bacteria.
When you think about it structurally, it makes sense that an antibiotic could not work to kill a virus with a completely different set of replicating “machinery”.

Why antibiotics can't be used to treat your cold or fluThe hands of an elderly woman are shown, holding a generic packet of medicine pills.
Taking antibiotics when you don't need them can help antibiotic resistant bacteria to evolve.
It’s understandable that when you’re sick, or when someone you’re caring for is sick, all you want is a medicine that will make everything better.
Unfortunately when it comes to viruses like those that cause colds or influenza (flu), antibiotic medicines don’t work. In fact, taking antibiotics to try and treat viral illnesses might make us all sicker in the future.
How antibiotics work
Antibiotics were discovered by a scientist called Alexander Fleming in 1928, and are widely credited as one of the most important medical discoveries in human history.
Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. Bacteria are very small organisms, and billions of them live in and on your body. Most of the time these bacteria are harmless or even helpful for your body, like those that help you to digest food, but some bacteria can cause diseases.
There are two types of antibiotics that work to stop bacterial infections. Some slow down the growth of bacteria and damage their ability to reproduce and spread, while others kill the bacteria by destroying the bacteria cell walls. The choice of antibiotic depends on the type of bacteria.
Why don’t antibiotics work on viruses?Viruses are different to bacteria; they have a different structure and a different way of surviving. Viruses don’t have cell walls that can be attacked by antibiotics; instead they are surrounded by a protective protein coat.
Unlike bacteria, which attack your body’s cells from the outside, viruses actually move into, live in and make copies of themselves in your body’s cells. Viruses can't reproduce on their own, like bacteria do, instead they attach themselves to healthy cells and reprogram those cells to make new viruses. It is because of all of these differences that antibiotics don’t work on viruses.
