Are There Any Interactions Between Methadone And Amoxicillin?

default
Posted on Thu, 29 Dec 2016
Question: I'm on a daily dose of methadone. I would like to know if 875MG of Amoxicillin will interact with my methadone. I do know some antibiotics will cancel out your methadone and put you into withdraws. Any help you could give me with my question, I would really thank you.

There is no known interactions between methadone and amoxicillin.

Methadone can interact with other antibiotics such as clarithromycin and ciprofloxacin but it can be used with amoxicillin without any known issues/complications
