Amoxil, like many antibiotics, can cause side effects. Common reactions include diarrhea and nausea. These usually are mild and resolve without treatment. However, report persistent or severe diarrhea to your doctor immediately, as it could indicate a serious condition like *Clostridium difficile* infection.
Skin rashes are another possibility. If you develop a rash, stop taking Amoxil and contact your doctor. This could be a sign of a serious allergic reaction.
Less common side effects include vomiting, indigestion, and abdominal pain. These are often manageable with over-the-counter antacids or by adjusting meal timing. If symptoms are severe or persistent, consult your physician.
Amoxil may also affect your blood. Rarely, it can decrease the number of white blood cells, increasing the risk of infection. Your doctor might perform blood tests to monitor this. Report any signs of infection, such as fever or persistent sore throat, without delay.
Headache, dizziness, and sleep disturbances are also possible side effects. If these are bothersome, speak with your healthcare provider to discuss management options.
