Can Amoxicillin Cause Blood In Urine?

I was prescribed amoxicillin 10 mg 3 times a day for a chest infection. I have only had 4 doses and have very slight bleeding . I stopped having periods 7 months ago and have done a menapause test kit which showed positive . I only found reference to blood in urine as a side affect of this medication , I would be grateful for advice

Hello,

Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Post menopausal bleeding is not a recognised side effect of Amoxicillin.
Amoxicillin can rarely cause a decrease in platelet count and abnormal liver function tests. These may be a cause of the vaginal bleed. A platelet count and liver function test would help in finding out if either is the cause.
If these tests are normal, I think you should see a gynecologist and be investigated for the post menopausal bleeding.
If you have further queries, I shall be happy to answer.
Take Care
