My son has acne on his chest and back. He is going to join the Army and we have been told that the acne can disqualify him. Our doctor has prescribed Amox/Clav. He has his physical in 2 weeks. What are the chances of the acne clearing up by then. Hoping for a huge miracle here!! ## It really depends on the type and severity of the acne, for some severe forms, yes they would fail him on the physical. Learn more Augmentin details here. The issue, however, is that is usually takes longer than 2 weeks for an antibiotic to clear it up and for it to stay cleared up, the person usually takes a low dose for a long time period. And is there any special reason the doctor prescribed this antibiotic, a generic for Augmentin? Usually the preferred one is Doxycycline. Learn more Doxycycline details h...

I have a UTI, I am going crazy, my Dr. can't get me in for four days and there is no way I can take any more of this. I have Amoxicillin 875/ Clav K 125 Tab (whatever that means) that I was prescribed for a sinus infection that went away on its own. Can I use this for my UTI? I have the full prescription right here. Ugh that would be a God send. Cranberry is only keeping some of the pain away. ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the active ingredients in Augmentin, is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections, however, it may not actually help in the case of a UTI.

I am taking 875 mg of amoxicillin-clav 2x a day. Very dizzy and upset stomach the first day , then diarrhea. The worst of it is the ringing in the ears and anxiety close to panic feeling. I want to break in half to start weaning off so the anxiety won't be so bad maybe? Been taking for 4 days. Please help. ## Hello, Colleen! How are you? Those can be normal side effects in some people that take this antibiotic, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience non-allergic skin rash and headache. However, there is no need to taper off, but you need to make sure to see your doctor so they can prescribe a different antibiotic to eradicate the infection being treated.

I have diverticulitis. I am taking amox clav 875 2x a day. It makes me sweat at night and I don't normally sweat. I smell just like the pills. Its horrible. How long will this last? ## Hello, Tj! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having, I understand why that would be annoying. This medication is classified by the FDA as an antibiotic and the side effects will usually linger for about a week, after you finish your course of treatment with it. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, headache and diarrhea. How long will you be taking it? The good news on the smell is that it is way more noticeable to you than to other people, so no one else will likely notice. ## I used amox/clav 875 tb for divitulis and I had no side effect...

Hi. So in efforts to get pregnant my husband and i have increased sexual activity. I started noticing irritation when I urinated and thought it was a uti. Yesterday when the irritation increased after urinating into more of a bv situation, I took some Metronidazole pills I had already. Problem is I only had 3 tabs, so I took those every 8 hours. Can I switch to Amoxicilllin-Potassium Clavulanate instead in another 8 hours? ## The best thing to do would be to see your doctor, to confirm the presence of an infection, and let them prescribe an appropriate medication, if one is present. However yes, you can smoothly transition from one to the other. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

I have a bad stye on my lower eyelid and it is causing my eye to become red. Can I use Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid 875mg for my eye? Last time I had this I had periocular cellulitis and I have the same symptoms. I was given Keflex, but I have a prescription for this medication. ## It may help, but you should not take it, unless your medical provider approves, because antibiotics should not be overused. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea. Has any testing been done to see what's causing them? I used to get them, while married to my ex-husband, but I haven't gotten one in years. (I said this, so I will likely develop one soon. LOL) Anyway, I never thought to speak to my doctor and have them checked out.

Hi, I am taking 1000-62.5 amox-clav er. 2 pills in am and 2 pills in the pm. Is this too much to take? ## Hello, Carrie! How are you? Was that the dosage prescribed for you? Doctor's will sometimes prescribe higher amounts of an antibiotic, if an infection is particularly severe or hasn't responded to prior treatment. However, you may experience more severe side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are you experiencing any side effects from it? Has the infection improved? ## Can you take amoxicillin 875mg for a sinus infection? I filled this prescription for tooth pain but never used it because I had a root canal.

I've been taking 875mg Amoxicillin/125mg Clav for a tooth abscess. My doctor gave me 10 days worth of meds to take twice a day. I've been taking it now for 4days but breaks it down into 3 times a day by splitting the pill in 1/2 which means I'm actually taking a pill and a 1/2. I tried the 1st day and it made me sick so I decided to try it this way but I'm noticing my abscess is not going down it actually got a little bigger. I was told that regardless the infection should've went down at least a little by now but it hasn't.. ## If you aren't taking the amount prescribed, then you may not be getting enough to eradicate the infection that has caused the abscess. It is very important to take the dosage that you are prescribed, in order to eradicate the infectio...

I had a sinus infection a few months ago and my doctor prescribed amoxicillin. Today I noticed the signs of a cold sore coming. Could I take the rest of my amoxicillin to get rid of it? ## Unfortunately, cold sores are caused by a virus, so an antibiotic will not help treat or prevent them. However, you could ask your doctor about taking Acyclovir, which is approved by the FDA to help prevent them. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi, I'm getting lipliner tattoo and would like to know if I take Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium 875mg will prevent me from getting cold sores?

is this good for a common head cold and or sinus infection? ## Gimiclav contains the active ingredients Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, it is an antibiotic and, as such, is only helpful at treating infections. Thus, it can be used for a sinus infection, however, it has no effectiveness against the common cold, since that is caused by a virus. If you use it improperly, you also run the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Do you have any other questions? ## Can you please tell me if this gimaclav is drug free? I'm a truck driver and get U/A's often.

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 am taking Amox-clav 875 mg and also taking Omeprazole 20 mg.is there any interaction between these two drugs? Does omeprazole decreases the effectiness of antibiotic? Also taking prednisone 10mg.pls let me know. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? There are no interactions or problems listed, it's usually with the calcium containing antacids, since they can coat your stomach and prevent absorption of the antibiotics. However, if you wish to be sure, you should take them about 2 hours apart, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
