Content: In this case, it may be beneficial to take an antacid at the same time, such as Tums or Rolaids. It should be noted that antacids interact with many medications so be sure to discuss the use of antacids with other medications with your doctor or pharmacist. Antacids are considered safe to use with amoxicillin however and may help. If antacids only work temporarily, try continuous dosing for at least a few days with other antacids such as H2 blockers like Zantac or PPI medications like Prilosec. These generally are more effective for longer periods of time than antacids like Tums and Rolaids. Taking Amoxicillin With Probiotics
Probiotics have growing evidence that they can be very effective for treating what is known as "antibiotic-associated diarrhea" as well as nausea caused from them. Antibiotics, like amoxicillin, kill off the normal gut flora, giving an opportunity for pathogenic (i.e. disease causing) bacteria to overgrow. This can be a particular problem with antibiotics such as amoxicillin, which is a "broad spectrum" antibiotic, meaning it kills off many different kinds of bacteria, both good and bad. Taking a probiotic is thought to help replenish normal, healthy bacteria in the gut, preventing and decreasing overgrowth of "bad" bacteria. Both adults and children who take probiotics with antibiotics, like amoxicillin, reduce the risk of diarrhea by almost half according to some studies.
