THSC Amoxicillin Oral Interactions
Before using this medication, tell the doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of:
- allopurinol
- live bacterial vaccines
- methotrexate
- tetracyclines
Before taking amoxicillin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are also taking probenecid. Probenecid slows down the removal of amoxicillin from your body, resulting in higher levels of this antibiotic in your bloodstream. For certain types of difficult-to-treat infections, your doctor may prescribe these 2 medications together in order to achieve this effect. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
This medication may decrease the effectiveness of combination-type birth control pills. This can result in pregnancy. You may need to use an additional form of reliable birth control while using this medication. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details.
Amoxicillin may cause false positive results with certain diabetic urine testing products (cupric sulfate-type). This drug may also affect the results of certain lab tests. Make sure laboratory personnel and the doctors know you use this drug.
Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
