Recently had a very bad reaction to augmentin. Now suspected MRSA wound that I thought was just a spider bite infected. They gave me this and I have never taken it before. I was okay with amoxicillin so it is the other component I reacted to. Is this related at all? Many of the bad affects listed here are what I experienced so i am afraid to take. Ty.

No, Trimethoprim is different and unrelated.

Learn more Trimethoprim details here.

But being an antibiotic, the side effects that it may cause will be very similar to those of other antibiotics, which is why it also lists what you've experienced.

The ingredient in the Augmentin that would have caused you a problem, if it wasn't the Amoxicillin, was Clavulanate, also referred to as Clavulanic Acid.

Is there anything else I can help with?
