Hello all!
I am a long-time lurker and first-time poster here, and I finally have a question that I am so so confused about. I have had a suspected "sinus infection" or sinusitis for a solid month now. I went to a clinic and was put on Doxycycline because the clinic doctor said that any type of Amoxicillan or Augmentin was a big no-no since I was taking Methotrexate (am currently on 15mgs of MTX 1x week). The Doxy didn't seem to work, and now they want to try me on Azithromyacin, which I can't take because of severe stomach issues. I have conferred with my regular rheumatologist, who said that there can be a slight interaction with Augmentin, but another consulting rheumatologist I has said it's okay to take Augmentin with Methotrexate as the interaction is slight. I am so confused at this point, and it seems my regular prescribing doctor is, too. I am in the U.S., but I love being on this board... it's indispensable, and you all here from the UK are so nice.
Thanks to anyone here who has advice, I am a bit desperate at this point...
