What to Do if You Experience Side Effects After Taking Online-Purchased Amoxicillin

Contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Describe your symptoms clearly and specify you obtained the amoxicillin online.

Keep a record of the online pharmacy’s details, including website address and order number. This information will be useful for your healthcare provider.

If you experience a severe allergic reaction–such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat–seek immediate medical attention. This is a medical emergency.

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. If these are mild, they may subside. However, persistent or worsening symptoms require medical attention.

Do not stop taking the amoxicillin without consulting your doctor, even if you experience side effects. Stopping treatment prematurely can lead to treatment failure.

Your doctor will assess your symptoms and advise on the best course of action, which may include adjusting your dosage or recommending an alternative medication.

Report any suspected adverse drug reactions to your national regulatory authority. This helps track medication safety.
