    In some cases, amoxicillin can cause severe side effects such as a major skin rash or hives. Also, you may be feeling especially tired. It is very uncommon, but sometimes amoxicillin can cause issues with bruising or unusual bleeding. Be sure and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any of these side effects.
