Does Viagra Interact With Amoxicillin?
Question: I am on a course of amoxicillin for a throat infection...can I take viagra at the same time?
Brief Answer:
Safe to take Viagra and amoxicillin
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
There are no interactions between amoxicillin and viagra. It is safe to take both.
The only thing else I have to add is that if you have a throat infection caused by a bacterial infection (strep?), you will want to be on the antibiotic for 24 hours before being close to people because it will take that long to not be contagious. If it is actually a viral infection instead, then you can still spread it as the antibiotic won't kill it. Also, make sure you feel well enough to be with someone - need to rest to recover.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.
