Is a Vicodin allergy related to a penicillin allergy?
No, they are different medications -- vicodin is a narcotic pain killer and penicillin is an anti-biotic. An allergy to vicodin is unreleated to an allergy to penicillin. However, do not use Vicodin if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or hydrocodone. You should consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions regarding specific allergies to medications.
Are oxytetracycline and penicillin from the same family?

Allergy to Augmentin means allergy to all penicillin based medications?
Not necessarily. Firstly, Augmentin is a combination of two different medicines: amoxicillin, which is related to penicillin, and clavulanate, which is not. You could conceivably be allergic to either one. Secondly, even if you have a reaction to amoxicillin, it might not necessarily be related to the penicillin-like part of the molecule. Or it could be a different type of reaction to amoxicillin, which has nothing to do with allergy. Fortunately, penicillin is one of the few medications for which there is an allergy test. I'd suggest you talk to a board certified allergist to discuss the details.
