I started taking my antibiotic and percocets 10 is there any problem taking them on da same day ## Hello, Luis! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. However, I can also tell you that these are often prescribed together, to treat an infection and the associated pain. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Percocet is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I had a sever upper respiratory infection over 3 months ago. Found out I had fluid in my ears. My ears were ringing so loud. Took the regular amoxicillin til it was gone. Sent back a second time, was prescribed claritin & nasal spray. Neither worked. Went back a second time because was told I had fluid behind eardrum. Was prescribed amoxicillin- clav 500 Was feeling well for 2 days. Now, I have this constant hissing noise in left ear. Also, my ear is like stereo! Everything is LOUD ## That could be due to the infection, and it being cleared up. Have you informed your doctor of the issue? Has there been any change? The typical side effects of Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Can I drink milk with this antibiotic I just want some cereal but my mom said milk kills antibiotics. ## Hello, Cynt! How are you? Milk doesn't ruin the effectiveness of antibiotics, but it can cause you to absorb less of them than you normally would, because it coats the stomach. You can have milk and dairy products while taking it, but you should be sure to separate them by about 2 hours. Side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi there, I've been prescribed this for the start of a flu, I recently went to a dentist for a tooth pain and the dentist has given me Clonamox 500GM caps to take , can I take these at the same time , otherwise I am normally very healthy. Thanks Daniel ## Hello, Daniel! How are you? An antibiotic will not help with the flu, or its symptoms, since it is caused by a virus and antibiotics only treat bacterial infections. Additionally, these both contain Amoxicillin, so there isn't any point in taking both. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is this medication for yeast infection and can i still take it if the experation date is 03/11/10? ## No and no. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic and, as such, it can actually cause a yeast infection, it will not clear one up. It is only effective for bacterial infections and a yeast infection is caused by fungal growth. Learn more Augmentin information here. And once expired, it begins to lose effectiveness and should not be used, because it increases the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. If you have a yeast infection, you should see your doctor for confirmation and/or look into a medication that's formulated to eradicate them, such as Monistat.

These side effects will be more prominent with the stronger IV doses, things should improve once you're taking the lower oral doses, though it may take a week, or so, for things to change.

My family doctor prescribed 4 Amox/K 500-125 Tab to be taken at one time before a dental procedure because of my heart problems. Is this safe to take 4 pills at one time. ## Hi Lois, According to the drug monograph for that 500mg tab, the dosing indications are listed at 1 tablet every 8 hours for 7-10 days. However, on the stronger version of this medication, the maximum recommended dose is listed at 1 tablet of Amoxicillin (875mg) + clavulanic acid (125mg) every 12 hours for 7 - 10 days. Based on that, it sounds to me like you took a few too many at one time. If you start feeling any repercussions from having done that, you may want to look into getting some probiotics. The good bacteria is healing to your gut and also prevents things like yeast infections (which can be a side effect ...

I am self treating a sinus infection. Started with 3 days of Cephalexin which I had from an infected finger. Also have 4 days of Amox from my sister. New job and can't take off to go to the doctor. Can I go from one to the other? Thanks! ## I should have mentioned that neither of the drugs is expired. Thanks for your thoughts! ## You shouldn't, what you really need is 10days worth of one continuous antibiotic. I know it's a pain to take off work to go to the doctor, but it's something that we all have to do sometimes. And, if you don't have enough of one antibiotic to treat an infection, you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistance, which would make you even more ill and you may end up with a much longer time period off of work, due to being in the hospital. ...

how long to be effective ## My daughter has taken 2 doses of Amox-Clav 875...How long before symptoms will begin to deminish? (bronchitis symptoms, diagnosed at walk-in clinic) ## This is actually a question that is very commonly asked about antibiotics. The way it should work is… Once the antibiotic has been started, if it's working, there should be no worsening of the condition after 24 hours of dosing. And improvement should be seen within 3 days (72 hours). Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Augmentin details here. Are there any questions or concerns?
