A member asked:
Can you die from a overdose of amoxicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Not particularly toxic, if at all when taken orally. Overdoses may increase risk of secondary fungal overgrowth or antibiotic induced diarrhea but no common fatalities except to allergic reactions, which are not dose dependent.
