Does Alphamox 500 Cause Skin Rash?
I am 3 days into taking alphamox 500 and this morning I have noticed a developing red itchy skin rash on the top of both my legs, I have not had any other symptoms develop but the rash had got more red over the day. Should I keep taking this medication that was prescribed for a persistent chest infection.

Hi,
Alphamox 500 is a brand name for the antibiotic amoxicillin, which is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. Skin rash is a known side effect of amoxicillin, but it is not common. The rash can appear as red, itchy, and raised bumps on the skin. If you are experiencing a skin rash after starting Alphamox 500, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.
It is important to determine whether the rash is related to the medication or caused by another underlying condition. Your healthcare provider may recommend that you stop taking Alphamox 500 and switch to a different antibiotic if necessary. Additionally, they may recommend antihistamines or other medications to help alleviate the symptoms of the rash.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
