Is It Good To Mix Aspirin With Amoxicillin Or Tylenol Pm?
My lower calf got pinned between the door and the back peg of my motorcycle.It was black and blue,this went away but after a couple weeks i noticed the area is hard(like a rock hard) it was suggested to me that it may be a blood clot and aspirin would be a good thing to start taking.I am on amoxicillin for an infection i have in a tooth. Is there anyone who can give me some suggestions as i have no insurance and here in Miami thats not a good thing.

Aspirin interacts with amoxicillin in that it increases the time that’s needed to clear the stuff from your body. That’s not good, because if you continue to take your antibiotics the way the doc told you to, the concentration of amoxicillin in your blood could reach toxic levels.
Now, instead of decreasing the dose of your antibiotics yourself or doing anything else dangerous, see a physician about it. They’ll be able to tell you if it’s safe. Until then, lay off the aspirin!

the aspirin will liquid your blood and disolve any possible clot. There is no problem with the amoxicillin but I would suggest you to stop with the tylenol. aspirin will work good as pain killer.
In any case if you have doubts and you cant contact a doctor, you can wait a few days until you finish with the antibiotic for your tooth and then start with the aspirin.
good luck
