Can anyone confirm if drinking alcohol while taking Amoxicillin is safe? I've heard mixed things.
I've taken Amoxicillin a few times and only experienced mild side effects like an upset stomach. Always finish the full course even if you feel better!
I'm a pharmacist and I can confirm that alcohol won't interfere with Amoxicillin, but it's always best to consult your doctor. You avoid things like drinking alcohol if you are on other antibiotics.
Good question! I had a bad reaction to penicillin and my doctor said I shouldn't take Amoxicillin, so maybe there's a connection.
I took Amoxicillin for an ear infection and it worked like a charm. No side effects at all. Knock on wood!
Be careful with this one. My friend had a severe allergic reaction and ended up in the ER. Always read the warnings and know the signs of a bad reaction.
Always take antibiotics as directed. Never share them with others or save them for later. They're prescribed for a reason! 😉
I had a weird rash after taking it, but my doctor said it was just a mild skin reaction and it cleared up. Definitely not as bad as some of the other side effects listed.
I've always wondered if these side effects are more likely if you've had allergies to other medications in the past.
Did anyone else know about the risk of C. diff-associated diarrhea? That's scary stuff. I always make sure to take probiotics while on antibiotics.
