A member asked:
What do antibiotics do to people with acid reflux can they make it worse or cause other forms of reflux. was on 875 mg of amoxicillin twice a day.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually no problem: Amoxicillin does not usually cause acid reflux to worsen. If you are noticing worse problems after having completed a course of it, you should see your doctor or your gastroenterologist. It is OK to use over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Mylanta as needed in the meantime. Good luck.
