Common harms from amoxicillin: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials for any indication
Malcolm B. Gillies,Anggi Ranakusuma,Tammy Hoffmann,Sarah Thorning,Treasure McGuire,Paul Glasziou,Chris Del Mar +6 more
TL;DR: The common harms of the most frequently prescribed antibiotic, amoxicillin, from randomized placebo-controlled trials were quantified to inform decisions by helping clinicians to balance harms against benefits.

Malene Plejdrup Hansen,Anna Mae Scott,Amanda McCullough,Sarah Thorning,Jeffrey K Aronson,Elaine Beller,Paul Glasziou,Tammy Hoffmann,Justin Clark,Chris Del Mar +9 more
TL;DR: The incidences of reported adverse events in people taking macrolide antibiotics compared to placebo for any indication were quantified to quantify the risk of bias and the quality of evidence for each outcome of interest.
