Therapeutic actions: Amoxicillin is a bactericidal antibiotic with a relatively broad spectrum of activity. It belongs to the penicillin group.
Indications: Flemoxin is used in the treatment of:

- urogenital infections;
- gastrointestinal infections;
- infections of the skin and soft tissue.
Contraindications and cautions: Hypersensitivity to amoxicillin, penicillin, or any component of the formulation.
In patients with renal impairment, doses and/or frequency of administration should be modified in response to the degree of renal impairment; a high percentage of patients with infectious mononucleosis have developed rash during therapy with amoxicillin; a low incidence of cross-allergy with other beta-lactams and cephalosporins exists.
Adverse effects: Call your doctor at once if you have any of these side effects:
- Central nervous system: Hyperactivity, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, convulsions, behavioral changes, dizziness;
- Dermatologic: Acute exanthematous pustulosis, erythematous maculopapular rash, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, exfoliative dermatitis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, hypersensitivity vasculitis, urticaria;
- Gastrointestinal: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, pseudomembranous colitis, tooth discoloration (brown, yellow, or gray; rare);
- Hematologic: Anemia, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenia purpura, eosinophilia, leukopenia, agranulocytosis;
- Hepatic: Elevated AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT), cholestatic jaundice, hepatic cholestasis, acute cytolytic hepatitis;
- Renal: Crystalluria.
Interactions:
- Allopurinol: Theoretically has an additive potential for amoxicillin rash;
- Aminoglycosides: May be synergistic against selected organisms;
- Methotrexate: Penicillins may increase the exposure to methotrexate during concurrent therapy; monitor;
- Oral contraceptives: Anecdotal reports suggesting decreased contraceptive efficacy with penicillins have been refuted by more rigorous scientific and clinical data;
- Probenecid, disulfiram: May increase levels of penicillins (amoxicillin);
- Warfarin: Effects of warfarin may be increased.
