Amoxicillin may exacerbate symptoms in some autoimmune conditions due to its immunomodulatory effects. Caution is advised; closely monitor the patient’s response.
While not common, amoxicillin can potentially worsen autoimmune symptoms through immune system stimulation. Doctors should assess risk versus benefit in these cases.
