Allergic To Penicillin Can I Take Amoxicillin Clavulanic

I have an infected tooth and I was given this medication but im allergic to penicillin can I take this medication with an allergic reaction? ## Hello, Kwilli! How are you? This antibiotic is a generic for Augmentin, which contains Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, so it does not contain Penicillin. While it should be safe for you to take, there is still a slight risk that you could be allergic to it, as well. This is used to eradicate bacterial infections and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm allergic to penicillin can I take augmentin clav 875-125 will I be okkristen

Is sulfur in penicillin s21 pills? I'm allergic to sulfur and have a bad toothache. Will penicillin help me out or make me sick? Please advise. ## Was it prescribed for you by a physician or dentist that knows you are allergic to sulfur? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. The inactive ingredients can vary, so while there is no direct sulfur in them, there might be derivatives. What specifically are you allergic to? ## Is amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid combination the right substitute for a penicillin allergy?

Is Amoxicillin a Cillian derivative? I am allergic to penicillan and derivatives such as Keflex. Can I take Amok TR-k cl? ## Yes, this contains Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid and it is a Penicillin class antibiotic and it is not recommended that it be used by people that are allergic or sensitive to Penicillin. Are both your doctor and pharmacy aware of your allergy? Making your pharmacy aware of the problem is very important. They will keep the information in their computer records and all prescriptions you receive will be checked against that, when you go in to have them filled. That way, even if your doctor misses a problem, they will be alerted to it and can let you know that it isn't safe for you to use and they can contact your doctor for an alternative.

I have a tooth infection and was given Augmentin and the doctor knows I'm allergic to penicillin. I know there is some forms of penicillin you can take if allergic, would this be one of them? ## There is no Penicillin in this antibiotic, the FDA lists it as containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid and its most common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Now, that isn't to say that you may not find other medications that you are also allergic to, but the only way to find out is by trying them. Is there anything else I can help with?
