Amoxicillin and liver

Common Questions and Answers about Amoxicillin and liver

amoxil

Avatar f tn Antibiotics have been know to affect liver enzymes, in both a hepatocellular and cholastatic manner. Amoxicillin can do this even after you've stopped taking it, but this is uncommon. Do you have any other symptoms like joint pains or rashes, no mild allergies to antibiotics? Also, vigorous exercise can cause elevations in your AST levels as well, as you suspected. This may account for the elevation bias between the liver enzymes.
Avatar f tn And yesterday I had to have a tooth pulled, (My teeth seem to be falling apart.) And the dentist gave me amoxicillin for the infection and tramadol for the pain. Both say should not be taken in cases of liver problems. I am taking only half the dose he prescribed of the pain medication, and will stop it as soon as the pain stops. But the amoxicillin should be completely taken, to clear up the infection. What should I do? I don't want to cause any more damage to my liver!
Avatar n tn I gave my cat amoxicillin and she started drooling instantly. I was foamy and clear and lasted for about 2 minutes. Is this normal or is it an allergic reaction?
Avatar f tn Yes I took antibiotics twice within 8 weeks. Its fine. I came down with two throat infections my first 6 weeks of tx . Your OK with that.
Avatar m tn If a doctor other than your liver doctor prescribes a medicine, remind him/her of your HBV status and ask whether that drug is liver friendly. Let your liver specialist know about any drugs and supplements you are taking.
Avatar m tn If I suspect Mono, and took a 3 day course of Amoxicillin (10 pills) and developed no rash, can I pretty much rule out mono? Some sources state 80-90% of those taking Amoxicillin with Mono develop the rash, while I've even seen 99% as a percentage. I actually want it to be Mono, instead of something worse, but I'm starting to fear the worst. Have any of you had Mono, been misdiagnosed with Strep and took Amoxicillin, and NOT get the rash?
Avatar n tn Today, nine days after beginning to feel sick, I visited my doctor and was prescribed Amoxicillin 875mg tabs to be taken twice a day for the next ten days. My doctor believes I have a sinus infection, hence the Amoxicillin prescription. I did not mention my unsafe sexual encounter to my doctor and I am not having any outward symptoms of any kind of STD. My question is, can you tell me what if any STD the Amoxicillin would cure if I did contract one from my friend?
Avatar n tn I am trying to get my daughter to take Amoxicillin for a throat infection. She won't swallow the capsule. Is it ok to break the pink and blue A45 Amoxicillin capsule in half and mix it in applesauce?
Avatar f tn This sounds like it has 100% to do with the Amoxicillin, and not Mono combined with Amoxicillin and so forth. Amoxicillin can cause joint pain although this is not a common side effect, but can occur and should NOT be permanent, but temporary. If this hasn't subsided, this definitely needs to be further investigated by your physician.
Avatar f tn I took carbimazole (for only 2 months prior to RAI treatment) and wouldn't have hesitated in taking antibiotics; I'm sure it would be fine. (I do know,however, that your liver counts should be checked occasionally when taking carbimazole long-term. It's metabolised in the liver and long-term usage has occasionally had an effect on the liver; although not common).
Avatar f tn Is strenuous exercise contraindicated when taking amoxicillin?Also, is sun exposure a factor, and if so, how long after you complete the round of antibiotics should you wait before you are able to go back out in the sun?
Avatar f tn Hi I found this about your medicine but you should ask your doctor as we here are just patients. http://www.simplestepsdental.com/SS/ihtSS/r.==/st.32228/t.32728/pr.3.html Clindamycin Common brand name: Cleocin Description: Clindamycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It works particularly well against certain types of bacteria. Dental uses: This drug has three main uses in dentistry. First, it is used in people who are allergic to penicillins and at risk to develop bacterial endocarditis.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, My mom was recently diagnosed with Hep C associated cirrhosis. She has had some complications, including esophageal varices and ascites. She remains fairly well compensated and does not exhibit symptoms such as fatigue or confusion. During an endoscopy her doctor also noticed an ulcer and tested her for H pylori (which was positive). He's prescribed Prevpac to kill the bacteria and heal the ulcer.
Avatar f tn I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend within the first couple of days of taking Amoxicillin. Now my period is late and I am concerned that I may be pregnant. What are my chances?
Avatar f tn Over the course of the last month and a half I have been on 4 different antibiotics for different problems. Biccilin, azithromycin, amoxicillin, and clindamycin. About a week ago after I finished the clindamycin I had absolute crazy diarrhea, abdominal pain(mostly radiating from my right side) and loss of appetite. I was tested for cdiff. By my dr and the test came back -.
Avatar m tn I typically take 2 grams of amoxicillin before all dental procedures (and some medical ones, too) due to Mitral Valve Prolapse with regurgition and a PFO in the heart. I am currently taking a round of amoxicillin for another problem (strep throat, 2 pills twice a day for 10 days.) These will be finished on this Friday. I postponed my regularly scheduled teeth cleaning/check-up, because it was only a few weeks away. I re-scheduled it for one month from the end of this amoxicillin treatment.
Avatar f tn However I recently had a sinus infection and took Amoxicillin for 7 days. Here it is, 2 weeks after stopping the Amoxicillin, I am having severe heartburn again. Did the antibiotic have anything to do with this?
9624973 tn?1413016130 I had a similar situation a couple of months ago when I needed to take Amoxicillin to avoid some infections after dental surgery (required because I have a neck surgery that could also see infection after dental surgery). I literally gained 20lbs in 2 weeks after I took it. The good news is, my AST & ALT did not flare up so I was ok.... but I'm almost certain the antibiotics caused some fatty liver and caused me to gain weight when I was on the track losing it.
Avatar f tn I m 27 years old male. 3 weeks before I had sex with one unknown guy without condom. Now I found a painless sore on my penis shaft ( inside of foreskin ). When I consulted a doctor she prescribed to take 3 Amoxicillin (500mg) per day for 5 days and a cream to apply on the sore but I didn't tell her that I had sex with a guy. 5 days not yet completed.This is 3rd day but I feel sore is getting dry now. My question is, 1. Is this sore related to syphilis or allergy sore? 2.
Avatar n tn I had sinus infection and got Amoxicillin for it. Had diarrhea, then a rash all over stomach, back, thighs, then yeast infection. I stopped taking the Amoxicillin and the doctor told my husband I was allergic to Penicillin. A week later I vomited several times and had cramping (like the stomach flu) and now my forehead has broken out with an itchy ***** rash like poison oak! Could the rash be associated with the Amoxicillin or the Sinus infection?
Avatar n tn PT and PTT Normal. BMP Normal. Abdominal ultrasound normal, liver not enlarged and no gallstones. Liver Enzymes Normal. The results of the hepatitis panel are not back yet. The only really abnormal elevation is the Indirect Bilirubin which is 1.9 (limit is 0.8). Do these lab results seem more consistent with a form of hepatitis or Gilbert's Syndrome? If the liver was so affected to be causing an elevation of bilirubin wouldn't the liver enzymes be elevated as well? Thanks!
