Side Effects
Possible side-effects include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, thrush, and a few other conditions. These do not usually require medical attention. However, if the patient experiences an allergic reaction to the medication, jaundice, fever, or severe diarrhea, a doctor should be contacted immediately. As with all antimicrobial agents, pseudomembranous colitis has been associated with the use of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin is known to cause liver failure in some patients.
Amoxicillin is a member of the penicillin family of antibiotics, and therefore should not be taken by patients allergic to penicillin.
