What Causes Blood In Urine While On Amoxicillin Taken For Sinus Infection?
Question: Hello- I am HIV + without any problems, undetectable. I started taking amoxicillin 4 days ago for a sinus infection. I check my urine everyday and today the toilet was filled. It was not my period or no bowel movement. I had my check up a few months ago and my creatine was normal, along with all of my blood work.
Thank you
Thank you
Brief Answer:
Side effect of amoxicillin use and needs to be reported at the earliest
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. You have most certainly experienced a bleed in your urine, and if you are positive that this is not your period then this is most definitely a side effect of using the amoxicillin.
There are 2 listed side effects that can be stated in the current situation:
+Change in colour of urine: Dark or blood in urine
+Unusual bleeding
Both these side effects seen with the use of amoxicillin need to be reported to the prescribing doctor at the earliest. I would thus urge you to report to your prescribing doctor, especially if the bleeding repeats (is seen again).
I hope you find my response helpful and are also able to find the help you need. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
