If you are allerigic to penicillin why can you take amoxicillin?
That is a very good question again asked by the expert on this subject. In the first place you do not know the exact mechanism by which penicillin allergy occurs. It may be due to traces of bacterial proteins remaining in the preparation or may be mediated through hapten mechanism or either of them or very rarely both of them may be responsible for the allergic reaction of penicillin. When you prepare the amoxicillin from penicillin, the protein/proteins responsible for allergic reaction may be destroyed and you do not get the allergic reactions of amoxicillin so commonly. Nevertheless severe anaphylactic reacions with injectable ampicillin has been obsevered by the cotntributor, although very rarely as compared to penicillin. And injectable ampicillin should be better avoided in patients allergic to penicillin.

Can you be allergic to penicillin and not amoxicillin?
No, If you have a confirmed allergy to one penicillin you will more than likely be allergic to all other penicillins. Amoxicillin is an example of an aminopenicillin. When you say that you have an allergy you should have had a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction to a penicillin. Meaning basically that it was bad enough to go the the hospital. If you experienced mild GI upset you may of not had an allergic reaction. You should consult you local pharmacist or discuss with you physician the types of reactions that you have had and they can make the best judgment of whether or not you have a penicillin allergy.
