"Very effective on infection, but stomach severe pains in the upper stomach. Had to stop taking it. Severe diarrhea, non-stop to the toilet. May need to see the doctor now, and I stopped taking it, and stomach still hurts."

"Got an infection in my fingertip from tearing it open. I was prescribed a 10-day round of Augmentin and took it for 7 days, and it didn't work. The first two days I had no issues, but by the third day, I woke up with pain in my back, neck, and shoulders and had a terrible headache, this lasted for 4 days. I told my doctor, and they suggested I take at least 7 days. On the 7th day, the last dose, I took it in the evening and woke up in the middle of the night with muscle and joint pain. Taking ibuprofen got rid of all of it, but I was taking 600 mg of ibuprofen at least twice a day. I felt awful the entire time. The only positive, it did clear up the infection. But my God, I felt like I was dying. I have asked not to be prescribed this again."

"After taking Augmentin, the very next day, I had the worst migraine of my life. I don’t know how I powered through school, but I did. The next day, the migraine was still very present. I woke up and vomited because my head was hurting so bad. I went back to the ER. They hospitalized me after that for four days. I had CT scans and everything. Worst experience ever on Augmentin, that is."

"This med was given as a result of a deep gouge from a dog nail. Healing was not occurring after 4 weeks, including a trip to an ambulatory care. My doc said they treated it incorrectly. He prescribed this. I have an appointment at the wound center Tues. Dr. also said it needed debriding. After 5 days, I see no improvement. If anything, the area is more red and sore."

"Took Augmentin 10 days, twice a day, 875 mg. Great experience, but did not fully get rid of my stubborn infection. It only made me a little gassy, with no other side effects."

"Had Augmentin a year ago for a severe sinus infection. Just had it again this time for a dog bite. 2 boxes, and both times, BP went up and takes ages to go back to normal after finishing."

"I'm beginning to feel the effects of the medication after days of taking it. PS Complete the course of the medication (under doctor's advice)."
