Is It Safe To Take Cold Medication With Calvepen?
Hi I am 21, 5 5 , and weigh around 10 stone! I have just been prescribed Calvepen tabs 666mg for tonsillitis 1 to be taken 3 times daily for 10 days! This is the third time this year I ve been put on these tablets! Also when I first got tonsillitis in January I also got guttate psoriasis and it has only gotten worse over the last few months even though my doctor told me it would subside 8 weeks after finishing my second prescription. I am currently waiting to get my tonsils out and have been told it will either be July or September when that happens. My problem is now I have a cold, so would I be able to take any flu tablets with the calvepen?? Any advice would be great!

Hi,
It is generally safe to take cold medication with Calvepen (amoxicillin), but it's important to always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medications, especially if you are already taking prescription medication. Some cold medications may interact with Calvepen, potentially decreasing its effectiveness or causing unwanted side effects.
In addition, some cold medications may contain ingredients that could aggravate certain health conditions, so it's important to speak with a healthcare professional to ensure the medications are safe and suitable for you.
If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.
