Clavamel Forte 500/125 Mg Rash
(Newest replies first)

I've been taking clavamel forte (500/125mg) since friday and now I'm coming out with an itchy rash. Is this an allergy or known side effect?

REPORT

It was on day seven of atenolol day prescription of apo-amoxi clav 500/125 that a rash started. I woke up in the morning with my hands burning. It travelled up my arm from my hands. The rest of my body broke out soon after. Head and neck the worst. I had my hair coloured the day before. On Benadryl and have found no relief after one day.

Thanks David. I did contact my doctor and he took me off them. I may be allergic to the amoxicillin. And he told me to get an antihistamine tablet. Thanks again.

Hi Tommy,

Clavamel contains the active ingredients Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid; commonly sold in the US under the name Augmentin. This is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections.

Amongst the possible side-effects of this medication are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, thrush, and a few other conditions. These do not usually require medical attention. However, if the patient experiences an allergic reaction to the medication (which in many cases can show up as a rash), jaundice, fever, or severe diarrhea, it is necessary to contact a doctor immediately.

From my perspective, it becomes obvious to me that this rash is the result of an allergic reaction to the drug. So as the information above puts it, I think it would be wise to follow up with your doctor about it and possibly consider the option of switching medications.

I hope this information helps!
