Amox Clav 875 Mg Dosage

What if I take another pill (875 mg) within six hours of taking my first pill - will that be harmful? ## Doubtful, but it probably won't be any more helpful. Why would you want to do this? ## Standard dosing protocol for taking this medication notes that you should be taking 875 mg orally every 12 hours for 7 to 10 days. That said I wouldn't suggest taking it sooner than later, as there will be an increased risk of severe side effects and other related symptoms. Taking more than prescribed at a different time frame could also trigger bacteria to become more resistant to the medication. Other side notes indicate that the every 12-hour dosage interval is associated with significantly less diarrhea than the every 8-hour dosage interval. I hope this information helps!

Twice in the last year I have been prescribed this for a sinus infection. Unfortunately both times i vomited several times a day. Both times doctors called in a different rx. Right now i'm in between jobs and don't have insurance. The rx's are still current and i know i have another sinus infection. If I cut the pill in half, would that help with the vomiting? ## It might, and they can be cut, if your doctor approves. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, headache, and non-allergic skin rash. However, it is always best to take the full dosage, as the nausea should pass, once you finish the course of the medication. How are you doing? Has there been any change?

My dentist perscribed Amox Clav 875 mg every 12 hrs and Metronidazole 500mg every 8 hrs for infection. I am having chills, nausia, and feel dizzy. Is this to much antibiodic for one individual? I am alergic to ALL mician groups; would this have an effect with these two pills? ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, are the active ingredients in Augmentin, both it and the Metronidazole are antibiotics. The dosage can vary, depending on the severity of the infection, so if yours was pretty bad, then this dosage and combination is not really surprising. As to the chills, nausea and dizziness, those are not allergic reactions, but they can be normal side effects of these medications. You may also experience diarrhea. If they are too severe and bothersome, you should contact your dentist. Are t...

After one tablet of amox-clav 875 mg, I developed shakiness, rapid heartbeat, extreme flushing of my face, and general feeling of fainting. Went to ER and after some treatment, was released. Following days, experienced extreme pain in upper abdomen area. After two more trips to ER, was admitted and underwent battery of test showing gall bladder was shot. Had surgery to remove. Could this have been caused by the amox-clav? ## It's highly unlikely that just one dosage would cause such severe damage to your gallbladder. Learn more Augmentin details here. In many cases, it may go bad due to someone having a severely high fat diet and sometimes there really is no reason, it just happens. Learn more gallbladder details here. How has your recovery been?

My 80lb dog has a staph infection and i can't afford his med for another treatment. Can i give him my Amoxil and how much? ## Hello Jc! How are you? I would suggest asking his veterinarian, since they are familiar with the use of such medications in animals.

Is there anything else I can help with? ## My 50+ lb dog has an infection between her toes, she had it about a month, it may be a prickly pear stuck in there. Can i give her 1/2 875 amox-clav-pot?

Is two (2) teva amoxicillin pills every 8 hours (3000 mgs/day) for acute otitis media (ear infection) considered an overly strong dose ? ## Hello, Peggy! How are you? That is a high dose, but it really depends on how severe your infection is, your doctor can adjust as needed if it is a very severe infection. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin and diarrhea. Has there been any improvement, yet? ## Went to the doctor on July 30,2017 they said I have a inner ear infection then went back Aug 3 they said I have a upper respiratory infection they gave me Amoxicillin.. Went back today Aug 8 cause of light headed they gave me Amox-Clav 875-125 mg.. How long should it take for the med to work??
