Amox Clav 875 Mg

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?

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 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...

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?

My wife daugher had these pill so took 2 for my cold around 10 last night now I'm shaking , little diarrhea, nausea what should I do cold shake ## HI, Don! How are you feeling now? 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.

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!

Does alcohol diminish the effectiveness of Amox Clav 875? ## Hi Rudy, According to a medical news article I read, "Drinking alcohol while taking these tablets does not usually cause any problems. However, some people who drink alcohol while taking antibiotics similar to amoxycillin and clavulanic acid have experienced adverse effects." Aside from the typical side effects, I would personally suggest taking it easy on the alcohol for the sole reason that alcohol can be hard on your liver. You want your body's immunity to be at full force when attacking the infection. My theory is if your body is working hard at metabolizing fatty foods, alcohol, or any other substances that aren't "clean", then it's not going to be nearly as efficient when it comes to fighting ...

This is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections.
