A member asked:
If both parents are allergic to penicillin/amoxicillin and my two children are what are the chances that i am as well? ive taken amoxicillin before

You are not/yet: Allergy to meds is not inherited & much of what people assume is allergic reactions are not based on testing. Since you have taken amoxicillin in the past without problems you are not allergic. That does not mean you will not become allergic at some point in the future, but that would be possible at the same rate as any other person.
