Answers:
Make sure you eat and then take it, or have a glass of milk with it!. Sometimes drinking a good amount of water when taking medicince can help offset some of those other side effects!.
I've never had heartburn from amoxicillin, but I was recently prescribed Celebrex and that gave me such horrible heartburn/acid reflux I stopped taking and called the doc to take something else instead!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hmm very interesting question!
I never heard of amoxicillan causing heartburn, but i would not be surprised if it was the cause
Many medications have many side effects, some dangerous, and some not!. For example: sleeping pills may help you fall asleep, however it has a side effect: It can make you sleepless
There are also some unknown side effects of medicines, (especially the newer ones!.!.!.)
Here's what i suggest you do: avoid all acidic foods (citrus fruits especially oranges, lemons, and grapefruits) and when you lay down to go to bed, prop your head up on a couple of pillows, that usually helps because then you have gravity on your side! :) and the food wont reflux into your esaphagous, it will stay in your stomache
If you still have problems, mylanta/pepto bismol/tums are great medecines to releive heartburn
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
