Does amoxicillin or penicillin clear the blood system of a drug?

NO: Amoxicillin and penicillin are antibiotics used to treat infections. They will not clear the bloodstream of other drugs.

No: Penicillins may change blood levels of certain drugs, but they do not increase metabolism or excretion of any drug I am aware of.
