Can you take amoxicillin while pregnant?
I am 18 weeks pregnant and I think my tooth is becoming infected. Before I got pregnant, my dentist gave me some amoxicillin and I have some left over. I need a root canal but I am trying to wait until after I have the baby to get it done.

Yes you can.
I did and I am taking it now to get rid of my sinus infection and I am breastfeeding my little 4 week old princess.

Yes it can be secure, it is one of the vital few antibiotics which might be. It is now not very strong, so unfortunatly relying on what your taking it for, it may not work. I am 8 weeks along, and have a ear and sinus illness and taking amoxil, to this point no luck with comfort but, but it's handiest been three days. My OB informed me Zithromax can be good enough even as pregnant, and it is a little improved,so if this doesn't solve what you've gotten, make sure you let your dr be aware of and they are able to change the antibiotic. Excellent luck

Yes, Amoxicillin is the most prescribed & considered the safest antibiotic in pregnancy. I am currently taking it for a sinus infection.

Yeah you can take amox during pregnancy. I am currently on it for an ear infection. It is always good to double check with the doc.

I had a tooth problem, my wisdom tooth comming in. If I were you I would just deal with the pain w/o meds. Think of your baby, you never know what is safe for the baby. You will be fine!!!
