As with all pharmaceuticals, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of Amoxicillin Suspension for Injection.

For a comprehensive list of all possible side effects of this medication, consult a veterinarian.

Amoxicillin may cause false-positive results on a urine glucose test because it can interfere with the test's chemical reactions. Urine glucose tests often rely on a series of reactions involving enzymes that detect glucose in the urine. However, amoxicillin and other antibiotics might interact with these enzymes or the glucose in the urine, leading to inaccurate results.

Do not use amoxicillin with fast-acting bacteriostatic agents, such as chloramphenicol, tetracyclines, or sulphonamides because these medications work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, while amoxicillin works by killing bacteria. When used together, the bacteriostatic agents can interfere with the bactericidal action of amoxicillin, potentially making it less effective.

Monitor the animal's reaction to the medication closely. If any adverse reactions occur, such as severe diarrhea or allergic reactions, stop the medication and contact your veterinarian immediately.
