Precautions

Take extra caution in patients with the following medical conditions:

Interactions

Ultramox may interact with the following medicines:

• Oral contraceptives: Amoxicillin can potentially reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives (birth control pills). It is recommended to use an additional form of contraception, such as condoms, while taking amoxicillin and for at least one week after completing the course of treatment
• Warfarin and other blood thinners: Amoxicillin may increase the effects of blood thinning medications, such as warfarin. This can increase the risk of bleeding. Close monitoring of blood clotting parameters is necessary if you are taking both medications
• Methotrexate: Concurrent use of amoxicillin and methotrexate, a medication used to treat certain cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, may increase the risk of methotrexate toxicity. Regular monitoring of methotrexate levels and adjustment of the dose may be necessary
• Allopurinol and probenecid: These medications are commonly used to treat gout. When taken together with amoxicillin, they can increase the risk of developing a skin rash. If you are taking these medications, your healthcare provider may need to adjust the dose or monitor for any adverse effects
• Antacids and iron supplements: Taking antacids or iron supplements containing aluminum, magnesium, or calcium can decrease the absorption of amoxicillin. It is recommended to take these medications at least 2 hours before or after taking amoxicillin.
• Other antibiotics: Some antibiotics, such as tetracyclines, may interfere with the effectiveness of amoxicillin. If you are prescribed multiple antibiotics, your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate timing and dosage to avoid interactions.

Inform your physician about the drugs you take including over-the-counter medications, prescribed drugs, supplements and vitamins.
