Generally, yes, you can take amoxicillin and Calpol (paracetamol) together. However, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining medications, especially if you have pre-existing conditions or are taking other drugs. This ensures safe and effective treatment.
Calpol, containing paracetamol, reduces fever and pain. Amoxicillin, an antibiotic, fights bacterial infections. They address different aspects of illness and, in most cases, don’t interact negatively. Taking both may provide more complete symptom relief when battling a bacterial infection accompanied by fever or aches.
Remember: Strictly follow the dosage instructions provided with each medication. Never exceed the recommended amount. If you experience any unusual side effects, such as severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical attention.
