IM NOT ON BIRTH CONTROL PILLS!

Do you take birth control pills? Amoxicillin and other types of antibiotics can cause them to fail.
Your period might be starting actually, so you might not have anything to worry about.
I don't think it's necessarily the amoxicillin causing the light spotting.

Any time your body under go's stress it can effect your cycle. Being sick is a source of stress. The reason antibiotics affects birth Control is because it also affects your hormones as a side affect, so yes it could be because of the amoxicillin. Every time I have to take it my response has been the same as yours except high sensitivity to the sun. Last time I took it finally had bad allergic reaction so no longer can take it. It can also be toxic to your kidneys pay attention to your urinary output, if it is decreased or becoming dark.
Why were you taking it? Could it be your symptoms of original illness are getting worse?

An antibiotic of any kind usually doesn't effect your period. It will effect your birth control pills if your on any. When you take an antibiotic with birth control pills you can still get pregnant sometimes and should always use extra protection when having sex. A clear discharge is normal and you might just ha had a very light period this month due to your body having an infection of some kind. Give yourself a month to recoup from everything your going through. If it's not back to normal next month then see your doctor asap to find out what is wrong. It's possible that you might have a cyst or something else going on, but I really think you'll be back to good next month. Good luck and God Bless

There is no interaction between menstrual period and amoxicillin, but there is drug interaction between amoxicillin and birth control pill. “Amoxicillin can make birth control pills less effective, which may result in pregnancy.” Before taking amoxicillin, tell your doctor if you use or don’t use birth control pills. Take this medication for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor.
Your period might be starting actually. If your period does not back to normal next month then see your doctor to find out what is going wrong. Until then pl don’t be worried / scared, have patience (take a deep breath and relax). Good luck!

I was in sales department of BRL (Beecham Research Laboratories) who introduced amoxicillin (Amoxil), amoxicillin+clavulanic acid (Augmentin), flucloxacillin, cloxacillin, ampicillin and so on.

I think the poster made it clear that she's not on birth control pills.

Amoxicillin can cause a bunch of changes in the body including menstrual irregularities. So it may be possible that what causes your delayed period is the antibiotic. However, you can never eliminate the possibility that you could be pregnant since there can always be a chance even if you're using condoms.
