Amoxicillin and amiodaron

[Rgmcguire]

Hello. Currently I'm taking warfarin and amidarone which is for afib rvr. If I need to take amoxicillin how would that effect my INR? When I need to go to the dentist I take 4 Amoxicillin one hour before the appt. Thanks.

Hi I know when I have to take antibiotics I always been given Amoxycillin it doesn't have the same problems as a lot of others do with INR

Amoxicillin before dentist I have mitral valve problems and use to have to take antibiotics before treatment, my dentist told me that they are no longer needed before treatment due to the latest research, maybe worth asking about it although I don't know what rvr is

Hi, I see you have just joined us, this site is for APS/Hughes patients - have you been diagnosed with this? Our blood desease reacts to certain medications differently to patients with Afib rvr!

Why do you need antibiotics before going to the dentist and whats the reasoning behind this from your prescriber?

I take it for possible blood infection.
