A member asked:
If you already have amoxicillin (875 mg) in your system will it protect you if exposed to syphillis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, very protective: Although amoxicillin does not treat active syphilis, it definitely will prevent syphilis if exposed while taking it. It's impossible to catch syphilis while taking amoxicillin or related antibiotics.
