I had bronchitis a couple a weeks ago and my doctor said amoxicillin and and z pack are fine when pregnant.  I took a z pack and just went in for a check up last week and everything's still fine :)

Also, i dont know if you know, but amoxicillin is an antibiotic which treats infections, i'm not sure why you would be using it for sickness (if i understood your question)

The hospital gave it to me when I went into preterm labour incase it was due to infection. Its a standard but strong antibiotic that always gives me a yeast infection. If it was prescribed by your dr I'd say it was for a good reason.

" Amoxicillin is only recommended during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk." Thats what it says on the internet. You shouldnt take any medication without asking your doctor first. If your doctor prescribed you Amoxicillin and he knows you're pregnant, than you have nothing to worry about.
