Will Moxiclav Leads To Penicillin?
I am profoundly allergic to penicillin all my medical professionals have been informed and are reminded if medication is ever prescribed. I had an operation on my spine. The list of meds given includes Mociclav pdr sol for inj/inf 1.2 mg, quantity was 6. I had an allergic reaction to penicillin, I need to know if the Moxiclav is the cause so I can ensure I never have it again. Your opinion please. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for writing to HCM.
Yes it is highly possible. Moxiclav is amoxycillin and clavulonate. Amoxycillin belongs to the same group of medications such as penicillin and if you are allergic to penicillin you are very likely be allergic to amoxycillin too.
Please ensure that you avoid all medications under the penicillin group which includes penicillin, amoxycillin, ampicillin and cephalosporins.
Hope this information helps. Do let me know if you have any other questions.
