A member asked:

Cilamox amoxycillin 500 mg (antibiotic) is giving me headaches.. want to know any suitable/safe painkillers to take with them.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call yourdoc: I am sure your doc could switch u to a different antibiotic if that one is giving u side effects that would be better than having to treat the side effects.
