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.

What can happen if you take expired penicillin?

1) Prescription medicine should be taken under doctor supervision as drug interactions or allergic reactions are possible.

2) It is likely that if you have old penicillin that you did not take the full course when it was prescribed earlier and this means you would most likely not have enough for a full course now.

3) Improper use of antibiotics can be harmful because overuse of anything can be toxic. Some drugs pose dangers to your kidneys or other organs.

4) Antibiotics also have the potential to disrupt the natural flora in your body. You need to have bacteria in your digestive tract to survive; killing it would be bad.

5) There is some validity to the claim that once the seal on a bottle of prescription drugs is broken, and the drug is exposed to an unpredictable environment, there is no certainty regarding the effectiveness of the drug.

The Food and Drug Administration, in conjunction with the Department of Defense did a study called the Shelf Life Extension Program (SLEP), which indicated that while some antibiotics lose some potency over long periods of time, most were largely effective longer than indicated on labels.
