Anyone know if it's ok to take both at the same time?

I was prescribed them before I started taking the Propranolol for something that has flared up again. My GP is on holiday until next week so I thought I'd ask on here. I took Prop years back and I think I had these antibiotics then but I can't actually remember if it was the same period of or not.

As far as I know. propranolol doesn't interfere with amoxicillin. I have been taking propranolol for over 5 years, and no antibiotics have conflicted.

I think the secret is to reduce over time if you ever want to
