Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking methotrexate for about 5 months. I last went to the dentist 6 months ago. I take amoxicillin before dental procedures. I want to know if this is a drug interaction I should be concerned since I take so much amoxicillin all at once. When I read the printout for the methotrexate it tells about a bad interaction between these two drugs and I looked on web MD and they say it is a serious interaction. I am not taking a whole course of the amoxicillin, but wanted to check anyway since I do take a one time high dose. Thank you
Hello, Yes, there is some risk of drug interaction, but it does not mean that they cannot be taken together. It depends upon the dose and timing. You need to discuss this with the doctor that prescribes the methotrexate to get a definitive answer Regards
