Amox Clav 875

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?

It may be something as simple as just some left over crud from the infection that didn't drain, so your ears may just need cleaned, but there is a chance that the infection hasn't cleared up.

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?

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.

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 know there is some forms of penicillin you can take if allergic, would this be one of them? ## There is no Penicillin in this antibiotic, the FDA lists it as containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid and its most common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Now, that isn't to say that you may not find other medications that you are also allergic to, but the only way to find out is by trying them. 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...

Is this a sulfa base drug ## From what I can this is not a sulfa based drug, as Amoxicillin does not appear to be on the list of sulfonamides I found (only two other antibiotics were listed). I don't know however, if this list is a complete list or partial list of sulfa based medications. For this reason, it may be a good idea to double check with your local pharmacy regarding this pill.
