I took my first dosage of amox clav and about two hours later i throw up. I was just wondering what if that was a side effect or should i call my dr an get seen again?? ## I just the same medicine and I'm feeling sick to my stomach also. I have stomach problem already so I don't know if it is the medicine or not. I guess if it doesn't get better I would call your doctor. ## Yes, this antibiotic can cause nausea as a side effect, along with dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Amox/Clav details here. You should always double check such an issue with your doctor, to be sure, but as I said, it is a known side effect. However, it may cause a problem if you vomit too soon after taking it, so you aren't absorbing the medication, but 2 hours should be okay...

I saw a doctor today for a cat bite. He is starting me on amox clav 875 mg. After reading about it, I'm afraid to start it. I already have chronic diarrhea, and don't know what it will do to me.

I stopped taking after 12 days and on the last day my feces turned white. They are still white 10 days later with severe itching and dark urine. Went to ER for cat scan and all is normal except elevated liver functions. GI doctor says this reaction can last a very long time. Any advice? ## Hi Marsha, Black/clay colored stools, blood in the stools, and dark urine are just a few side effects of Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium. The only suggestion I have would be to eat a very clean diet consisting of fruits and veggies and alkaline water. This may help your body to rid itself of the leftover medication faster. Light exercise will also help your body to sweat out any unnecessary toxins. Learn More: Amoxicillin + Clavulanate Potassium Details I hope this info/advice helps!

can this be taken for infection for a tooth? ## I am out of my doctors area. I have an abcessed tooth. Can I take amox/kclav875/125 ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the generic for Augmentin is an antibiotic and should only been taken if an actual infection has been confirmed present. Taking it when it isn't needed, or if you don't have enough to take a full course of treatment, could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria. Additionally, if you do have a dental abscess, this will not help with the underlying problem, so you will still need to see a dentist as soon as possible, or the infection will just reoccur. Are there any other questions I can help with? You can learn more Augmentin details here.

UNTIL.....I was prescribed amox clav 875 mg for a lung infection and the arthritic pain has mysteriously DISAPPEARED!!!! COULD this be a new drug for another ailment??? ## No, it is an antibiotic that will only effectively treat infections, however, if you had some type of severe infection roaming your body, it is highly possible that some of the symptoms it caused, were mistaken for arthritis symptoms.

Hi, what if my dog took a piece of a tablet that fell to the floor? Is it poison to dogs? Thanks ## Based on my research, drug companies do actually make Amoxicillin for both cats and dogs. So in my opinion your dog should probably be ok in the long run without any worries. However if your dog doesn't seem to be handling it well, I would still encourage you to bring the dog to your local vet and have it checked out. I hope this helps offer at least some relief knowing that Amoxicillin is often prescribed by vets. ## Thank you! ## I was seeking information on amox clav 875 mg tabs, as they related to ingestion by my dog. A big black lab, who got inquisitive and ate three tablets on a plate to be taken that night by myself. According to what I have found so far is that it is a light a...

My lungs have been conjested for six days now. A fever, can't sleep, can't breathe properly, and I have no appetite, lost ten lbs. My Dr. put me on AMOX-CLAV 875mg. Huge white horse pill, twice a day with food. Fever is down, appetite, ? a little better, but I don't have any energy at all. No side affects, lungs are still full of clear mucus. I will continue this medication for the ten days as prescribed. ## Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It sounds like you're tolerating the medication pretty well if you're not experiencing many side effects. If you want to help speed up the process I'd also suggest staying away from dairy products in general, since they are all mucous forming by nature. In most cases, Amoxicillin usually gets the job done w...

After taking a look at some of the side effects for this drug, I do believe it can cause your tongue to be sore: "Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction while taking amoxicillin / clavulanate: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat." Learn More: Amoxicillin + Clavulanate Potassium Details If your tongue is just sore and not necessarily swollen, I would still consider having it checked out by your doctor in the event that the pain is still occurring.

How is your husband feeling? Any time that anyone feels tightening of the chest, chest pain or anything unusual, they should contact their doctor or seek emergency medical attention immediately.
