Amoxil vs. Penicillon

Amoxil vs. Penicillon

Does and allergy to Amoxil mean an allergy to most\all penicillon drugs. We just found out our daughter has an allergy to Amoxil so should she be taking any antibiotics from the Penicillon family?

Hi there,
Since Amoxycillin and Penicillin belong  to the same class of drugs; usually people allergic to Penicillin/Amoxycillin are not advised to take any of the other drugs that belong to the same class.
Therefore it is recommended that your daughter should avoid taking these drugs. There are many substitute medications/antibiotics that are equally effective.
If you have any further queries do get in touch with me.
Regards,
Dr Sylvester
