Hello, Bruce! How are you?

Yes, this is an antibiotic that can treat various bacterial infections, so it's fine if your doctor prescribed it for you. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, if your doctor hasn't prescribed it, then you shouldn't take it, because many cases of bronchitis are caused by viruses and antibiotics will have no effect on them.

Is there anything else I can help with?
