I would talk with your doctor, but my Grandma could not!
No, amoxicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin category. You'll have the same "allergic" effect than if you were taking penicillin V, as an example.

Absolutley not. Once you are allergic to penicillin, you aren't able to take ANYTHING that falls within the penicillin family. Usually, people with a penicillin allergy are given erythromicin as an antibiotic instead.

No you cannot. Amoxicillin contains the same ingredients as Penicillin. If you are looking for a supplemental antibiotic I recommend Erythromycin.

No. If you are allergic to penicillin then you are allergic to that entire family of antibiotics. This includes amoxicillin and essentially everything that ends in -cillin.

No. It is in the same drug class as penicillin and will cause an allergic reaction the same as penicillin would.

No amoxicillin is actually a penicillin. If you're really allergic to penicillin, you're also allergic to amoxicillin for sure.
