Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There is some interaction between amoxicillin and warfarin. The amoxicillin can increase the effects of warfarin, so there is increased risk of bleeding. It is recommended to have your INR monitored while on this combination. Call your doctor about when he or she would like to check your INR while on the amoxicillin, if at all. Sometimes when it is a short course of amoxicillin, this is not necessary.
I hope this information helps.
