Not really: Who prescribed the two medications? The same dentist? Discuss this with the dentist/specialist who will be performing the root canal therapy. Amoxicillin can also be used for premedication, if that is what is indicated in your situation.

Unusual combo : Check with your cardiologist and your dentist please -- usually one or the other with a standard dose.

Proper advice-: The best answer to your question would be by a dentist who knows your complete medical and dental history and has already seen you. Please don't look for answers on the internet. We could only guess as to what you require and why.
