Reviews for amoxicillin/clavulanate systemic to treat Bacterial Infection

Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate): Took Augmentin for a bacterial infection. The infection cleared up, but the day I took my last dose, I broke out in severe hives. I was out of town so did not see my doctor. Took Benadryl every 6 hours for 4 days before the hives subsided. The hives covered everywhere from my face to my feet. Although it cleared up my infection, I would not want to face that side effect again. Never had any allergies to antibiotics before.

Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate): I had an infection caused by cat bites & scratches on my hand (my cat got caught in a vine by his tail and was in a complete panic; I freed him from the vine, however, during that process he latched onto my hand and bit and scratched - he is ok, thank goodness). I was prescribed this medication; it took time, yet it did work to eliminate the infection. The side-effects of 2 pills/day of 875mg each (total/day = 1,750mg) for 10 days had a strong effect on me. I did not follow-up with the hospital, which I should have done. I would emphasize that if anyone is to take that amount of this medication, to consult with their doctor when side effects are seen.

amoxicillin/clavulanate: I had my appendix removed. This medicine was easy to use and administer. Some minor side effects with this medication were softer stools, loss of appetite, and darkening of the urine.

Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate): My son had over half of the severe reactions to this medicine. He was prescribed this medicine for an ear infection. We spent a whole day in the doctors office being tested for everything from cancer and blood disorders to simple viruses. Thankfully, we found out it was just a reaction to augmentin. Our oldest son has had augmentin before without any reaction what-so-ever.

Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate): Works well. Watch for diaper rash (yeast type) in infants. Apply cream to diaper area liberally at every diaper change and give probiotics.

Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate): Had a bad sinus infection that went into my lungs, but after 3 days on Augmentin, I started to feel much better. The only drawback for me is the nausea and mild diarrhea.

Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate): Works well on me and my children. I have found it works in a few days. I have used it for chest infections and middle ear, and had great results with all my family.
