A member asked:

Can you dissolve 500 mg of amoxicillin in tea? or will this kill the antibiotic making it non-effective.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Amoxicillin: Suggest using water. Cannot find data about whether it will be destroyed by tea, but better not to try this. There is some interesting information suggesting the combination of caffeine and some penicillins may increase the efficacy of the drugs against staph aureus, but doubt this has clinical relevance.
