Generally, yes, you can take amoxicillin and Calpol (paracetamol) together. However, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining medications, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other drugs.
Paracetamol helps reduce fever and pain, while amoxicillin fights bacterial infections. They work through different mechanisms, making simultaneous use usually safe. There’s no known significant interaction between the two.
If you experience any unexpected side effects such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), difficulty breathing, or unusual changes in your health, stop taking both medications immediately and seek medical attention.
Follow the dosage instructions on both medication labels carefully. Never exceed the recommended dose of either medicine. Proper hydration is also important, particularly when taking amoxicillin.
