I've used amoxicillin for my strep throat and it cleared it right up in a few days. Didn't notice any side effects either.

Normally I have never had a negative experience with antibiotics with the exception of doxycycline which makes me throw up shortly after taking.. This medication Amoxcil however- caused hives on the palm my hands and feet. Also, blisters on the roof of my mouth. I was in worse pain with the ulcers on my mouth than anything. (I believe they started out as hives.) If I continued to take it instead of ceasing and taking two back to back doses of benadryl, I’m afraid I would have anaphylaxis. I avoid at all costs now. Big thing was I was never allergic to it or Augmentin before this. I’m 34 and somehow now it did me in! Just want to warn those. If you ever experience white raised areas that are scratchy or soreness on roof of mouth, tongue, throat… STOP AND CONTACT DOCTOR. Read More Read Less

Have been prescribed 1000 mg 2x a day for sinus infection and possible pneumonia. Donâ??t know for sure, all I do is cough day and night and started to produce blood. With this Corona virus the Dr canâ??t even see me so we did a video Appt. After the first dose my stomach was hurting, I didnâ??t pin point it to the meds since the coughing has caused my stomach muscles and ribs to hurt but after the second dose within 15 minutes or so I was doubled over in so much pain ready to cry. So nauseous and dizzy. Itâ??s 1:00 am and I am exhausted but canâ??t even sleep not only from the coughing, canâ??t breathe but now added stomach pain that feels like a ulcer Iâ??ve had in the past. It seems like Iâ??ve taken this before so Iâ??m not sure why my body is reacting this way. Ugg! I need to get better, hopefully thereâ??s something else Doc can prescribe. Read More Read Less

The doctor prescribed 2 tablets (total of 1000mg) twice a day. After taking it for a few days I noticed the urine had a few bublles (like foam) I develod flank pain and stopped it at the 7th day. Two weeks later I developed a painful UTI with blood and severe diarrhea. I had never had UTIs, I feel that PCN caused a superinfection.

I take this drug as a preventative when having my teeth cleaned due to heart valve leakage.The last time I took it I had the problem of diarreaha and had to replace good bacteria in my colon with other meds. I don't want that problem again and don't know whether to take it again.

this medicine was for my 7 year old daughter. The pharmacy made a huge mistake by saying she needed 3 tsp x a day of this medicine for 10 days. I called my doctor because we were out ofter 4 days She was only supposed to get 1.5 tsp 2 x a day. I am furious with the pharmacy for this
