I'm on amox-clav 875mg for a nasty sinus infection. I have recurrent sinus infections, and this is my first time on the drug. After two pills (that's one day of the medicine) I am already feeling sweet relief. No side effects and I now look at this med with reverence.

The other ingredient is Clavulanic Acid, this is a generic for Augmentin.

The Clavulanic Acid helps to prevent the growth of bacteria, while the Amoxicillin fights the infection that is already there.

Basically, amoxicillin mixed with clav-something acid which just enhances the effect of amoxicillan, an antibiotic. Used for chest/skin/ear/throat infections..

I'm on Amox/Clav 875/125 and I haven't experienced any of the side effects yet. I had a nasty sinus infectin that has lingered for 4 weeks, and now has become a painful chest cold. After only 2 days on these meds my condition is improving and I only experience very mild drowsiness. The drowsiness is even less than if I take a benadryl.

If your doctor prescribes it, then you should take it. No one should self-medicate with prescriptions. If you have concerns about a particular medication, as your doctor and do not just make decisions on your own.

I am taking amox-clav for a sinus infection that has been lingering for a few weeks. To avoid being ill you should eat yogurt with this medication. I have not had any negative side effects from taking this medication.

I am on it now. Had complaints about constant dizziness for the last four month. After an MRI was prescibed Amox-Clav as MRI revealed an inflamation behind the inner ear. Been on it now for two days, and today I feel terrible...more dizzy after getting a little better prior to taken this drug, hope they are not side effects...need no more dizzyness.

I was prescribed Amox-Clav 875MG for a 10 day treatment of a sinus infection (2nd one in 6 months). Taking this for 4 days now and I'm feeling much better. I did have to stay close to the bathroom on day 3. Next time I'll try eating yogurt with it like another poster mentioned.

With the meds being that old they will not hurt you..they just will not be effective..like a soda being left open and loosing its fizz.

I just got the prescription today - 875/125 Amox-Clav. I went to the doctor for a tender nodule on my upper neck, close to my jaw. He said that it might be an inflamed cyst. Will let you all know how I feel in a few days.

I was prescribed amox-clav 875/125mg
for a sinus infection that was found after an MRI was performed. The MRI results read: There is a retention cyst in the left maxillary sinus and mucosal thickening in the left sphenoid sinus. After taking these meds along with an inhaler (flunisolide). I feel much better. I've had this problem for years and I am blessed to find out that it is only a sinus infection.

I was taking this medicine for a sinus infection and won't ever again. It was way too strong fir me since I am only 105 lbs. I ended up getting c diff. And the dr. Said it was from the medicine. I would suggest anyone who doesn't weigh alot ask for another medication or eat a ton of yogurt, that does help because the c diff. Was so severe I was hospitalized. And all because of being on this medicine.

my husband has been on Amox-Clav 875mg for 4 days now for dizziness. Doctor said it was an infection behind the inner ear. He hasn't felt good at all and hasn't slept for 2 nights now he has terrible cold sweats all night and feels sick. I didn't see sweats on the side effects but he won't be taking any more Amox-Clav.

Just checking to make sure you don't swallow the salty nasal rinse - if you hold your head down and on the side it should run out the other nostril, lowest to the sink. Also good is to inhale steam. Put boiling water into a container (I prefer a glass measuring cup with a handle, just easier) and put a drop or two of eucalyptus and peppermint oil OR vicks vapour rub, OR organic apple cider which has healing properties. Inhale with a towel over your head for 5-10 minutes for nasal relief. It loosens up the mucous and makes the saline rinse more effective too. Sure helps me - a chronic sinus and allergy sufferer.

you should not use antibiotics for the common cold, they only work on bactireal infections.

eating a low in sugar yogurt regularly while using antibiotics can be helpful in not developing yeast infections as a sideeffect

My daughter was prescribed this antibiotic (Amox-clav 875-125 mg) for a sinus infection and was given a 10 day course. She forgot that it causes her to have acid reflux that stays long after the medicine is taken. She has only taken 6 pills. What consequences would be expected if she stops the pills now?
