It is never advisable to take a medication that hasn't been prescribed for you. This is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of bacterial infections, but it will not do anything to treat a cold, since that is caused by a virus. And the symptoms you experienced can be normal side effects of this medication, but you should consult your doctor for your own safety. Learn more Augmentin details here.

Is amox-clav 875 still good if the used by date 6-18-14? ## Hello, LAS! How are you? Medications tend to degrade over time and become less effective, storage conditions can also play a role in that. When it comes to antibiotics, any lessening of efficacy creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, so it would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was prescribed this huge pill after telling doc I had a problem swallowing even water! Also she found a huge cancer sore the size of of a silver dollar on the right size of my throat at the ear! I suffered a swollen tongue with loss of taste for food and now since I stopped taking them my tongue is reducing swelling but I have not taste! Everything I eat or drink tastes like salt and burns my tongue. I cannot eat basically but I have to eat turkey tastes like salt, beef tastes like salt and it burns. Crazy! What the hell is going on?

I have diverticulitis. I am afraid of all the side effects of augmentin. After 3 days of liquid diet my pain persists. How many days should I be on 875? Extremely fearful of all the side effects listed. ## Hello, Charlie! How are you? Side effects are just possibilities, not everyone experiences them, some don't experience any of them. The FDA lists the typical ones for antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea…. which are pretty mild in comparison to an infection that could rage out of control and kill you. How long has your doctor instructed you to take it? You should complete the full course of treatment, as prescribed. ## Can my 12yr. Old daughter take augmentin875-125 mg tablets for strep throat

My brother has been on this antibiotic now for over 56 weeks. He is getting very ill and we are trying to get them to take him off of it. I thought if on an antibiotic for a long period of time, could make the body resist it if needed in the future. ## Hi Marcy, 56 weeks is a unusually long time to be on any antibiotic in my opinion, seeing as most doctors I've gone to only prescribe a 7-10 quantity for general infections. Also taking antibiotics for this length of time could quite possibly be what's making him feel ill, not only due to potential antibiotic resistant bacteria like you mentioned, or side effects, but also because these types of antibiotics are known to diminish good bacteria as well, whereas the patient may need to take probiotics in order to help replenish what ...

My doctor prescribed amox k clav 875/12 for an infection. It is causing me to have terrible diarrhea. I have taken it for 3 1/2 days. I don't feel bad except for the diarrhea. I'm also having a little trouble with breathing. I need to go to work and can't take the chance of running to the bathroom. ## Diarrhea can be a normal side effect of an antibiotic, such as this one, according to FDA reports, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and non-allergic skin rash. Have you tried taking anything to prevent the diarrhea? Your doctor should be able to let you know what is safe for you to take.

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?

how long after med expires is it still good for ## Hello, Timmy! How are you? The best way to think of the expiration date would be to actually consider it a guaranteed full potency date. That is the maximum time that the manufacturer can guarantee that the drug will have its full beneficial effect under the most commonly used storage conditions. Past that date, the efficacy level starts to drop. Now, antibiotics can be more problematic than many other medications, because once they start to lose effectiveness, they may not properly eradicate infectious bacteria, which may result in antibiotic resistance, making things even worse. Additionally, if your doctor prescribed it to treat an infection and you didn't finish it all, as you are supposed to, then you are also running that same...

I have a tooth infection and was given Augmentin and the doctor knows I'm allergic to penicillin.

I have a infection in my gums from my tooth that broke off I took 3 so far and I'm still in pain ## Hello, Raven! How are you doing? Sorry about the dental infection. However, this medication is not a pain reliever, it is an antibiotic, so it can help with the infection, but will not relieve the pain. That will usually clear up in a few days, once the infection starts to clear up. Have you consulted your dentist? If the pain is severe, they should be able to prescribe something that can help.
