Amox Clav 875 Mg Use

I have had a persistent bad taste and smell and it seems like there is infection present but I have been prescribed other antibiotics since this started about a month ago. Now I have been prescribed am ox clav 875. Should I expect better results because this is driving me crazy ## Hello, Aking! How are you? If it isn't responding to antibiotics, then it may not be due to a bacterial infection. There are various reasons you may be experiencing such symptoms, such as your sinuses being full due to allergies, other medications that you're taking, something you're eating/drinking, or a fungal infection. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Have you tried consulting an ENT?

I had a sinus infection and took amox/kk clav 875 and stop after four days because I felt fine and I wonder if I did wrong? ## Hello, Evita! How are you? Yes, when you are taking an antibiotic, you should finish the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Stopping too soon could cause you to develop antibiotic resistance. It would be best to consult your doctor, as you may need to take another course of an antibiotic. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been on this for 9 days so far, total of 14 days needed, for a bad sinus infection. Today I wake up with a sore jaw, at the hinge right below my ear. Ive never had jaw problems. I do have an spot with my Dr tonight, I ass prescribed the amid clavicle by an urgent care Dr. Is it possible that this is a "side effect" or has anything to do with it. Not my first time on this ir other antibiotics. The only thing that I added was mast night I stared a 7 day Otc yeast infection treatment. Thank you antibiotics. I'm also taking acidophilus. ## What did your doctor say? It would be very unusual for the antibiotic to cause that as a side effect, but it is always difficult to say how any certain medication will affect any given person that uses it.

I am developing rheumatoid arthritis and each a.m. must grab onto the nightstand beside the bed and literally pull my aching body out of bed. UNTIL.....I was prescribed amox clav 875 mg for a lung infection and the arthritic pain has mysteriously DISAPPEARED!!!! COULD this be a new drug for another ailment??? ## No, it is an antibiotic that will only effectively treat infections, however, if you had some type of severe infection roaming your body, it is highly possible that some of the symptoms it caused, were mistaken for arthritis symptoms.

Does it deactivate my birth control? I have a very bad infection in my colon. I'm 27. My doctor said it's common in older adults so I'm trying to fight it. My body is in a lot of pain.. I'm so bloated I just want to roll over and die. ## Yes, this antibiotic can reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives, so it would be best to take other precautions to prevent pregnancy, while taking it.

Hi, what if my dog took a piece of a tablet that fell to the floor? Is it poison to dogs? Thanks ## Based on my research, drug companies do actually make Amoxicillin for both cats and dogs. So in my opinion your dog should probably be ok in the long run without any worries. However if your dog doesn't seem to be handling it well, I would still encourage you to bring the dog to your local vet and have it checked out. I hope this helps offer at least some relief knowing that Amoxicillin is often prescribed by vets. ## Thank you! ## I was seeking information on amox clav 875 mg tabs, as they related to ingestion by my dog. A big black lab, who got inquisitive and ate three tablets on a plate to be taken that night by myself. According to what I have found so far is that it is a light a...

Does amox-clav cause black stools Kim ## Hello, Kim! How are you? No, that's not normal. Antibiotics can sometimes cause discoloration of the stools, such as making them green or clay colored, along with other side effects as listed by the FDA, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, black is not normal and, in many cases, signifies bleeding somewhere in the intestinal tract. Thus, it would best to have this checked out by your doctor immediately. How long have they been occurring?

isamox-clav 875 mg suitable for treating abcessed tooth? ## This is a generic for the antibiotic Augmentin, it can be used to treat various types of infections. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Augmentin details here. However, you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor or dentist has confirmed the presence of an infection and prescribed it to treat it. Doing otherwise creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Additionally, there has to be some underlying cause for a tooth to abscess, such as a deep cary and that must be corrected by your dentist, or the infection will just keep recurring. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have taken 2 tablets/day of am ox clave 875 mg for 10 days. Will this cause coughing? ## Hi bob, Would you describe it as more of a gag reflex type of cough? Just wondering because "vomiting" is really the only side effect listed under this medication that I find comes close to "coughing". On the other hand, it's possible that you may be experiencing an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions to Amoxicillin can include, but are not limited to the following symptoms: Swelling or tingling in your mouth or throat, chest tightness, trouble breathing In either case, it sounds to me like you should probably report this side effect to your doctor, just to be on the safe side. If for some reason this was an allergic reaction, it's usually better to act on it early before...
