A doctor has given me a prescription for Amoxicillin to take twice a day. If I eat or drink particular foods directly after taking the pill will it negetively effect. . . . . . the effects?

Probably not a problem. The stuff will come with a data sheet which deals with issues such as food incompatibilities. I don't recall any issues of this sort from the last time I used it. The only gotcha is that it will wipe out your intestinal flora, causing various minor gastric problems; a drink or two of acidophilus milk after you are done with the drug will help.

There's no known foods that negatively interact with antibiotics,such as amoxicillin. Other medications,sure. But that's a different question :)

I will look at this further when I track my pharmacology book down but I am quite certain that the only precaution you need to take is to avoid alcohol whilst on the medication.

It just makes the Pilll less effective, but then again so does vomiting.
Amoxicillin always gives me secondary infections and thrush, so I avoid it wherever I can.

Avoid citrus drinks or fruits--they neutralize the amoxillan and delay the recovery time.
