A member asked:
I'm taking amox/k clav 875-125 and now my right arm muscle is sore and starting to bruise i don't recall any injury to my arm could it be from the med?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Possibly, but not likely. It is a reported side effect in <1% of all patients. It is more common in meds with Aspirin or nsaids (ibuprofen, naproxen) as an ingredient. It may also be related to the reason you are taking the antibiotic. If it continues or gets worse, see your doctor.
