I've been taking this for bronchitis going on 2 days. It makes me feel jittery, nervous and just all around weird. I could barely work out and had to finally stop because I was lightheaded. In also not sleeping well. Will my body adjust? ## Hello, Rachel! How are you? I'm sorry that you're sick! This is a generic for Augmentin, which the FDA classifies as an antibiotic, what you experienced are typical side effects and you may also experience nausea, drowsiness, non-allergic skin rash, headache and diarrhea. How long will you be taking it? Usually, you're not on an antibiotic long enough for your body to adjust, so you'll usually experience side effects as long as you are taking it, but they will go away, within a few days to a week or so of finishing your course of ...

I have an entire bottle of augmentin pills, which were orginally going to be used for a slow antibiotic treatment over a month. My doctor told me not to do it in the end, but left me with a full bottle. Do the pills expire? ## Is it an original factory sealed bottle, or a bottle that was filled and dispensed by your pharmacy? In the original factory sealed container, they are usually good for about 3 years, since that keeps them from being exposed to the elements. Learn more Augmentin details here. If they're in a bottle from a pharmacy, which means they've been removed from the original container, then they expire a year from the date they were dispensed to you. Breaking the seal on the original container exposes them to heat, light and etc. which starts the degradation process...

I have a throat infection. I have a slight fever, feel achy and my throat is killing me. Can I use this medication? ## Hi, Lance! Sorry you're not feeling well. This is a generic for Augmentin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. However, you could run into a problem if you don't actually have an infection, or if you don't have enough to take a full course of them to treat an infection, because either situation creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Have you consulted your doctor? The symptoms you're describing can also be caused by a cold, or severe allergies. This medication may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Augmentin details here. ...

I've had nausea, dizziness, and heartburn for 3 days now after taken Augmentin and drinking several beers this past Saturday evening. How long should I expect these symptoms to last? ## Hello, Chappy! How are you? Those can be normal side effects of this antibiotic, though alcohol can worsen them, so they may continue for the full duration of treatment with it. If your symptoms are severe, or worsen, you should consult your doctor. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include diarrhea, headache and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, for a year now, I have been suffering from heavy, thick, white abnormal lotion like discharge that came on after taking augmentin. It never itches or burns, but it is extremely uncomfortable to live with. I am 26 and not sexually active. I am not over weight and eat very healthy. I have been to 9 different gynecologists and had swabs and cultures taken and all come back normal with normal ph (4.0). My latest gyno calls it leukorrhea (excessive, thick, chronic vaginal discharge of unknown origin.) She agrees the discharge is much too heavy (as have all the other gynos i've seen) and wants to put me on low dose birth control pills in the hopes that the low estrogen in the pills will dry this up. I'm afraid of this and would prefer to know other people's experience with ...

does taking this drug make you more sensitive to sun and therefore burn more quickly? ## Hello, Caitlyn! How are you? Yes, most mediations can cause that. If you're going to be in the sign, it's best to be careful how long you are in it, use a good sun block and make sure to drink plenty of water, unless you're on fluid restriction. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Horrible med taken for diverticulitis. 2 Mos after 825 mgs, 2 x daily, 10 day dosage: all orig side effects remain with increased intensity: burning skin/rashes, sensitivity to light/sun, severe arthritis in hands/feet, myalgia, urination frequency, unbearable back pain. The med/pharmacy community nows little about this or professing not to. My life before augmentin bears no resemblance to now. I cannot perform my daily activities .. disgusting. Have turned to acupuncture for relief .. plan to file a complaint against this med with any government agency applicable. NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG! IT MAY ROB YOU OF THE LIFE KNOWN BEFORE TAKING IT!

Where is amox/k clav 875-125 mg tablet sandoz generic for augmentin manufactured? ## Hello, Jane! How are you? What are the markings on it?

my doctor prescribed this medicine and I have been taking for 2 days now. I am wondering if I could drink milk with this medication? ## If there are no warnings on the bottle or the monograph you received from your pharmacy, then it's generally safe to assume that there's no need to worry about it. While some foods and beverages are contraindicated with some antibiotics, the warning about such is normally given by your pharmacy. For instance, one that I was on recently specifically said it should be taken on an empty stomach, with only water, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after any meal. If you aren't sure, then double check with your pharmacist, before doing so. Learn more Augmentin details here. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Dealing with the augmentin 8...

I was on 1g Augmentin a day for over ten years. Now they say that was too long and that I have Crohns. Could my symptoms come from too much Augmentin for too long? What can I do? Gastroenterologist stopped the prescription but has no ideas other than treating it as Crohns. I'm not getting better after two years of Pentasa for Crohns. ## Hello, Calvin! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're having. Crohn's isn't known to be caused by medications, so it's doubtful that the Augmentin would have caused it and not everyone responds to the available medications, such as Pentasa. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Pentasa as possibly including diarrhea, gas, nausea and back pain. So, it could be helping and just causing side effects that are similar to ...

I have a severe tooth infection since a week. The tooth which is the source of the infection got removed today. My concern is about how to take the leftovers of my antibiotics because I have likely made a mistake in taking it. Here is the story, sorry it's a bit complicated but I hope you understand: Background: Unfortunately I had 3 different dentists due to traveling in Thailand. 04/04/2015 the first dentist gave me Amoxi 500 for 3 times a day every 8h. 11/04. the package was finished, the inflammation of my teeth didn't get much better. I have visited another doctor for removing the bad tooth. He said the former antibiotics were too weak and gave me Augmentin 1g for 2x daily every 12h. So far so good. But I didn't trust this dentist much since first he wanted to pull my t...

The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic that used to treat or prevent various types of infections and its other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. How long will you be taking it? Those symptoms should go away about a week or so, after finishing your course of treatment with it.
