What is the most important information I should know about amoxicillin? What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking amoxicillin?

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that is used to treat many different types of infection caused by bacteria, such as tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract.

Amoxicillin is also sometimes used together with another antibiotic called clarithromycin (Biaxin) to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection.

This combination is sometimes used with a stomach acid reducer called lansoprazole (Prevacid).

Amoxicillin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction (hives, difficult breathing, swelling in your face or throat) or a severe skin reaction (fever, sore throat, burning eyes, skin pain, red or purple skin rash with blistering and peeling). Call your doctor at once if you have: severe stomach pain; or diarrhea that is watery or bloody (even if it occurs months after your last dose). Common side effects may include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea; or rash.

I thought it was my scale out-of-whack but after googling the subject of weight gain with antibiotics, there were many hits.

I understand that once you quit a course of treatment, the weight loss is a lot slower than the weight gain.

I have 3 more days to go and hopefully I will my procedure by then and won't have to take it anymore.

I had no other side effects so that's why I gave it a 2 instead of a 1.

It prevented further infection and kept away the potential for fever and swelling.

Have some dizziness, diarrhea, and feel pretty much exhausted. I don't enjoy the side effects but would take it again. It has been my experience that no antibiotic is all that pleasant to take. I began to feel hopeless with mild anxiety which is not normal to me at all . I was actually relieved to read that others have reported the same thing. It seems to be a necessary drug but I would not choose to be on it long term .

it also concerns me to think how it might affect children .

Nausea, abdominal pain, spasms during the night (which further caused sleeplessness), skin rashes, dry mouth.

I was prescribed the Nextium hp7 which contains amoxicillin to kill the H. 5-6days after taking the pills, things started to go downturn, with unpleasant new symptoms poping up one after another, after day-8, it went bizzare - I was feeling so sick that I thought there were something seriously wrong with my liver or bile or pancreas - I finished the course anyway, as the instruction says if I don't follow the exact dosage the bacteria will become more difficult to wipe out later. Cloudy head, confusion, difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, lethargy, insomnia, weird mood swings, short term memory problems, bizarre/disturbing dreams, tongue rash/bumps, tongue sensitivity. Low appetite, lots of headaches, forgetfulness, &things taste weird.

**All of these are to an extreme degree & interfering with everyday life.** I was starting to think I was crazy since none of the official medicine thingies really mention the symptoms I have been having.

I'm on day 6 of a 7-day regimen; will probably go ahead and finish & hope I start feeling more clear-headed & even-keeled soon. I can't remember if I mentioned it, but forgetfulness.

:-) Seriously though, the symptoms are almost as bad as the infection.

Thrush and loose stools and off balance stomach took 6 to 7 months after to get my stomach back I advise to take a pro biotic during an after use and as to get a antifungal mouth wash as I got thrush on my tongue. Worked on my throat worst pain/ sickness I had sense chicken pox and food poisoning so it worked great. DIZZINESS,CONFUSION,PANIC ATTACKS,AGITATION,SLEEPLESS NIGHTS,THE FEELING I WAS DIEING , THE MOST SCARY MEDICINE I HAVE EVER TAKEN,THE NIGHTMARES,AND SLEEP DEPRAVATION ARE TERRIBLE.. I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE AMOXICILLIN OR SIMILAR DRUG AGAIN,HORRIBLE.

Slght muscle cramp, dehydration, nausea if taken without food, upset stomach, occasional dry mouth. I was only able to take it for seven due to the side effects mentioned previously. Outside of the side effects it did exactly what it's suppose to do. While taking this make sure you drink plenty of water through out the day!

After fourth day I noticed constipation, sore throat and stuffy feeling in head as well as fatigue.

I would say drink lots of water and make sure you eat when taking this medication. Not working at the moment 5th day of 7 feeling very tired and depressed. A good and safe drug for its intended use, but keep an antifungal creme on hand, since you may experience a tinea infection.

I take Amoxicillin as a pre med before dentist appointments. I had a cleaning & crown scheduled within a 2 week period which means I took 2 2000/mg doses within that time.

My side effects included adult acne on my forehead and a vaginal infection.

I chose not to go to the doctor for the vaginal infection (I wanted to see if it would clear up on its own.

I am also immunosuppressed (transplant recipient, which is why I am required to take the pre med). I usually don't have major issues with this drug, however, the vaginal issue was VERY unpleasant. I was well when I took it (I take the medication to PREVENT an infection due to dental work).

With taking large doses 14 days apart, I can safely assume that was why the side effects were more severe (I am also a small woman: 5'1" 110#). It has helped me pinpoint which medications are causing side effects. I don't feel that it's 'dramatic' to write an honest review of what is happening with your body. This is the safest and one of the oldest antibiotics out there, and thankfully my toddler tolerated it well with probiotics 5-6 hours after the morning dose. I've taken this med several times over the past two years for tooth infection avoidance without any negative side effects. However,this time was totally different the fatigue and back pain were the worst and i almost didn't take my last five pills because of this.

The back pain started on the second day my doctor said to keep taking the meds, by the fourth day i felt so bad that i started taking them every ten hours instead of every 8.

This eased the nausea and fatigue somewhat along with eating greek yogurt 2.5hrs.

after each dose, of course i had to take the meds longer but was able to function better.

I have become quite sensitive to antibiotics as i've gotten older.

of course they have their side effects too but not nearly as bad as prescribed meds., and they get the job done naturally.
