Can Amoxicillin Be Take Along With BP Medications?

I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and was prescribed amoxicillin, I ve been taking it for about 5 days now, yesterday most of my teeth on the left side both top and bottom have began to hurt, like a toothache. I m also on a high blood medication amlodipine. Should I stop taking the amoxicillin? Maybe these two drugs should be taken at the same time?

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Kalpesh Kavar, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Amoxicillin and Amlodipine are having separate mechanism of action and different path of metabolism which doesn't interact with each other.

As you have been prescribed amoxicillin for sinus infection which can be continued along with Blood pressure lowering drug Amlodipine.

As far as tootache is concerns, it may be infection spread or may be entirely new cause for tootache, which needs to be confirmed from detailed examination, but it surely can not be due to interaction between amoxicillin & amlodipine.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
