Amoxil, like all medications, can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. These usually resolve without intervention. However, more serious, though less frequent, reactions may occur.
A serious allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, or difficulty breathing, requires immediate medical attention. This is a medical emergency.
You might experience changes in your bowel habits, including a potentially serious condition called Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. Contact your doctor if you notice persistent or bloody diarrhea.
Some individuals experience dizziness or headache. These are generally mild, but if they worsen or persist, seek medical advice.
Amoxil can affect your liver function. Symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) require prompt medical evaluation.
