Amoxicillin/clavulanate and estradiol

Amoxicillin/clavulanate's FDA label of May 1, 2025 names estradiol in its drug interactions section; the estradiol labels PlainMeds reads (4) do not name amoxicillin/clavulanate. The amoxicillin/clavulanate label: “Following administration of amoxicillin to pregnant women, a transient decrease in plasma concentration of total conjugated estriol, estriol-glucuronide, conjugated estrone, and estradiol has been noted.”

These are the labels' own sentences. PlainMeds does not grade interactions; a pharmacist or prescriber can say what they mean for one person's medicines.

These are the ingredient's own label sentences, repeated in a combination product's or a biosimilar's label. The ingredient pair sets them out with both labels side by side.
