User Reviews for amoxicillin oral

Starting taking this on a Monday and by Thurs was feeling much better. Dr said it would take awhile to work. Best thing was I didnt feel extremely nauseous or have diarrhea while on this. It did make me tired and was hard to swallow but would take this again.

Was prescribed amoxicillin 550 for pharynitis for 10 days after taking it for 5 days noticed my lymph nodes swollen on my left side under my chin. Have some concern if this is normal.it. cleared my infection. But my neck and throat hurts like the sickens.

I had a knee replacement in 2010 and a hip replacement in 2016. Since the first surgery, I have had to take 2000 mg of amox one hour prior to any invasive dental appointment. Never had a problem until this past week; had dental appointment Monday and every day since have felt nauseous, had diarrhea/loose stools and lower abdominal cramping. Can't think of anything else that could have caused it. can you DEVELOP an allergy to this?

Taken for strep throat, minimal side effects when taken with food. I do wish the pill size was smaller

Was prescribed this medicine to treat a sinus infection which had symptoms related to a cold or flu virus. After 2 doses of this medication I developed severe itching on my hands and they turned red like a rash. Contacted my doctor immediately and discontinued use.

Sinusitis , inflammation in 1ear, took 500mg for 7 days with absolutely no positive effect. Waste of time.

I have a ear infection wondering when will the drug overcome the infection it seem mighty slow.

Current issue is UTI and abscessed wisdom. 2nd course in 5 months. 500mg x3 daily for 10 days. Relief in 4-5 days. I do get quisy a bit, some diarrhea with gastric distress, a little dizzy and appetite loss at times, but it is nothing compared to the pain of the UTI and the "literal" every 5 min. trip to the restroom to cry as I'm dribbling, while passing a tiny bloody, puss filled clot. Please excuse the imagery, but for those who have had this, you know... and if you are a man with a woman in his life; trust me these are real and they are horrific life altering infections. The Amoxicillin is prescribed by my dentist as well, but to me does nothing for the infection. However it is protocol (or was) for those such as myself with a Mitral Valve Prolapse with Regurgitation, prior to any procedures, including cleaning. I was very prone to urinary tract infections from about 17-30... at this time I discovered that taking this large of a dose of antibiotics resulted in a yeast infection, so was given a anti fungal to combat the side effect. Now that I am in my 50's, I am once again plagued with UTI's. I've learned that I can eat plenty of yogurt to keep from having the Yeast Infection. A real relief! This is a very inexpensive medication, that if tolerated, is extremely effective. Not everyone can take the "cillan" variety of antibiotics. While I can take this...I don't tolerate Cipro. You have to work with your doctor to find what is best for you. Also you can talk to your doctor about side effects such as nausea and diarrhea as there are medications that will combat it.

I had a sinus infection a few days after having a cold. Tuesday - Friday my symptoms worsened from sore throat/headache to severe throat, ear , face pain and no OTC drugs helped. I started taking 500mg of Amoxicillin 3x / day. Within 24 hours the pain was relieved. But it's day 6 and I am still congested and have post nasal drip.

slight loose stools-took probiotics and this immediately resolved. love it!!!!!!!! even eliminated body aches i was having! 500 mg 3 x day for full 14 days

after taking drug 875mg..between vomit and diarrhea,I thought I was going to die,or wished I could!!!following 9 months of severe depression.if I would have known the side effects were that traumatic,I would have thought twice about taking this drug. in the future I'll look into some other form of treatment

Love the quick response of this medication. My only complaint is the size of the pill. When you have strep throat, trying to swallow such a large pill is challenging

I have taken this antibiotic several times over the years for recurring sinus infection, cures the problem every time. Personally, I have never experienced any side effects. As all strong tablets should always be taken with food .

I took the pink oval caplet with 67 & A imprint, 875 mg. Never felt this bad from a drug. Headache, nausea, flu like symptoms, dizzy, sleepy, itchy,feverish. Felt drunk and hungover. This generic drug needs to be removed from the shelves. Others who have taken it told me it made them passout. Ask for another medication. ITS HORRIBLE !!!!

I saw many people mention they had trouble with diarrhea while taking amoxicillin so I wanted to mention you should take florastor 30 mins before you take amoxicillin. Personally I take it before and after the antibiotic totaling 500 mg of the probiotic It is a yeast based probiotic and will prevent stomach trouble

I was prescribed this (generic version) for sinus infection. Completed 10 days of Novamoxin-Amoxicillin(3 tablets x 500 mg/day). 2 days later completing it, had a severe allergic reaction (bad hives, itching, rash). Went to emerg, it was that bad. Now day 9 after break-out: still itchy, but less (it's migrating), rash is diminishing, but am advised it could take up to 6 weeks for these to go away (hopefully less). Drinking water like a fish. Staying away from other antibiotics, using natural ways to relieve the itching etc. I find evenings to be the worst time when allergic reaction symptoms would flare up. I would not recommend using this antibiotic.Read More Read Less

Okay so I have been prescribed amoxicillin orally for the second time for a very bad sinus infection and cough. The first time I was prescribed 500mg. It seemed to work but did not get rid of the problem, my sinus infection. I also started getting symptoms I did not have when I started chills, and body aches and pains. This was news to me that the medicine was not doing its job. So now I'm taking 875mg 1 pill twice a day. Hope it works but it upsets my stomach so much.

I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled and had to start this medicine the day before my procedure and then start again the day after for a total of 9 days. I took the 500mg 3 times a day as told by my doctor and this has worked great. I have had no side effects even with a weak diet since my food selection was limited to liquids and soft easy to eat foods. I would recommend this to those who need an antibiotic however this is a larger pill and the plastic coating does have an odd taste to it if not swallowed quick enough.Read More Read Less

Had tooth abcess and prescribed 500mg 3 times daily. Felt sick, stomach burning acid reflux, rash on neck. Went to doctor who did not connect, did not know what rash was and said I may have ulcer. Blood test etc all fine, then just beginning to feel normal and another tooth erupted. More amoxcyllin and realise my symptons were due to this after reading everyone's experiences, thank you. Last day today and hope throat feels better when I stop taking. Have appointment for gastroscopy next week, but may not need now if due to drug. Have taken it in past and no problems so is it different formulae?Read More Read Less
