Doctor,my wife has got severe allergic reaction with amoxy-clav tablets.but she is not allergic to pencilin earlier.can she take again amoxy-clav?

Dr. Ew Christensen answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Penicillin Allergy: If she truly had an allergic reaction to the amoxyl-clav then it is highly likely she now has an allergy to penicillin and its related medicines. She should not take amoxyl-clav again. She can go to an allergist and be tested for a penicillin allergy.
