I am deathly allergic to yellow food dye. My amoxicillin capsules are made out of yellow food dye. My pharmasit told me that I open the capsule and take just the powder. The problem is the strong taste of the powder makes me gag.what can I do ?

Compounding pharmacies can be very expensive, and not all of them handle insurance.

Hi hello333333.

Go to compounding pharmacy and ask them for yellow food dye free Amoxillin capsules.
They'll prepare this for you, but you'll need a script from your doctor.

Cheers!

See if some other generic maker does not use yellow capsules.
