drug interactions?

Question

I am taking apo-amoxi clav for a bacteria infection, and I am wondering if it is safe for me to be taking advil with it..or tylenol for that matter...just something to help with the pain

Thank you

thanks for all your help, Im on the depo shot, will it stop that from working?

Answer 1

There is no interaction between apo-amoxi clav and any analgesic (painkiller) so it fine to take both of them at the same time.

Just to add to Christina f's answer that there are many drug interactions with antibiotics. For example, by taking two antibiotics at the same time they can counteract each other.

You should always check with a health care professional rather than assume.

Edit: there has been no demonstrated signs of interaction with Depo-Provera and antibiotics, however you should always take extra caution with birth control methods and use barrier contraception such as condoms.

Answer 2

If that is an anti-biotic, as I am assuming, then it is fine to take aspirin or Tylenol or Advil with it. Just to be sure, look on your prescription bottle and there usually is a sticker that they put on the bottle telling you not to take over the counter medicines. If it's not there, you are ok. Also, the only interaction with antibiotics that I know of is with the birth control pill or nuva ring. It makes it ineffective.

Answer 3

If that is an antibiotic that you are taking, its fine to take tylenol or aspirin. If your not sure always call the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist, they are always happy to help.

Answer 4

Check with your doctor or your druggist.
