More About Us

Amoxicillin is a commonly used antibiotic that is used to help the body fight off bacterial infections. It is available over the counter and is usually safe to use. As with all antibiotics, though, it is recommended to limit their use to help prevent bacteria from developing a resistance to it.

It can also, unfortunately, lead to some very unwelcome side effects. If you do experience any of the side effects listed below after using amoxicillin, it is a sign that you have had a negative reaction to it.

The first step is to stop using the antibiotic and the symptoms should hopefully pass. In some cases, it may be necessary to seek emergency medical treatment. Alternative antibiotics are available if they are needed.

Amoxicillin Side Effect #1: Dizziness

We are most likely to experience dizziness as a result of moving too fast or maybe spinning around. Even if we are stationary, objects moving around us can sometimes cause confusion and cause us to feel dizzy. At other times, though, dizziness can occur because of an illness or maybe as a side effect of medication.

If you have taken amoxicillin and you are feeling dizzy, it could well be due to the antibiotic. It could also be because of the infection that the antibiotic is being used to treat. If symptoms persist than you should stop using the antibiotic and arrange to speak with your doctor as soon as you can.
