  • Tooth pain

    One potential side effect of taking amoxicillin with methotrexate is an increased risk of methotrexate toxicity. Methotrexate is primarily cleared from the body by the kidneys, and amoxicillin can decrease kidney function, leading to higher levels of methotrexate in the body. This can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage, gastrointestinal problems, and bone marrow suppression. Other possible side effects of amoxicillin include allergic reactions, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. If you experience any of these side effects or any other symptoms while taking amoxicillin with methotrexate, you should contact your doctor immediately. READ MORE
