What Are Amoxicillin 875 Side Effects

I had a severe reaction to this where I broke out starting at my hands and feet with itching, then broke out around my lips and eyes and then my legs from top to bottom. My tongue swelled and itched everywhere. I took benadryl, then my heart started to hurt, feeling like an attack. I do know that the amoxicillin caused the itch and swelling of my tongue but do not know what caused my heart to react. ## Hi Christina, I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I hope you got emergency medical attention after all that! Based on my research, it does sound like you had an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillin. In regards to the chest pain, the Benadryl shouldn't have caused that since it is safe to take with Amoxicillin. Everyone is different though, so maybe it did effect you in some ...

My doctor said some people may not be allergic to the amoxicillin but to the capsule it is put in, as these are made cheap with added 'E; numbers. I had swollen lips and tonge, short of breath when I took them and thought I was allergic to penicillin, after what my doctor said, I tried amoxicillin again, I took it out of the capsules and added the powder to a drop of fruit juice and guess what I had no reaction whatsoever to amoxicillin. Why dont they use veggie capsules, instead of these cheap capsules with toxic 'E' numbers added to them? ## When you experienced these side effects, did you go back to the doctor? What did they do to help you? ## I took amoxicillin clavulanate 875mg for three days and it made me very sick to my stomach. I have been off it for 24 hours. How l...

I have a prescription for amoxicillin 875 mg twice a day for uti.. It upsets my stomach a bit so I wondered if I can break them in half and take them 4 times a day. Maybe it will help with my stomach irritation. ## Hello, Sixcharm! How are you? No, it would be best to take them as prescribed, but you can try taking them with a meal, rather than on an empty stomach. Just avoid dairy foods, which can sometimes affect the absorption of some medications. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
