A member asked:

Dentist gave 250mg amoxicillin 4xdaily for infection before root canal. scared of side effects. taken in past with no problems. allergic reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you've taken: amoxicillin before without a problem, a reaction is very unlikely. Although there is always a chance, because you can develop an allergy to any medication, the odds are very low. Hope this helps!
