Methotrexate’s toxicity can be amplified by amoxicillin; discuss this with your physician before combining these medications.
Allopurinol, used for gout, may increase the risk of skin reactions when taken with amoxicillin. Be aware of potential rashes and inform your doctor immediately if they appear.
Probenecid, a drug for gout, reduces the body’s breakdown of amoxicillin, potentially leading to higher levels in the blood. Your doctor might need to adjust your amoxicillin dose accordingly.
Oral contraceptives may have reduced effectiveness when taken with amoxicillin. Consider using additional birth control methods during treatment and for a short time afterward.
Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking before starting amoxicillin. This includes over-the-counter drugs.
