Amoxicillin / clavulanate Alternatives Compared

For Sinusitis: Pro: Got relief from bad sinus infection within one day Cons: Supremely hard on my stomach and energy level. If I was not nauseous, I had severe stomach pains and chest dagger like pangs. Also had the sweats. And yes all this even after taking probiotics and with food.

For Sinusitis: I went to an ENT and the camera she ran up my nose and into my throat indicated I had a sinus infection. It was a great relief as I had been to my family Dr. a few times and she said there was nothing she could see and I was left feeling ill. ENT gave me 3x 500 for 21 days. Seemed very excessive I thought. She did prescribe Sandoz-Rabeprazole as it reduces any side effects. I have had no nausea or bowel issues however on day 8 I feel worse than ever. I am anxious, sad, had to take a leave from work because I am lethargic and cannot focus. My vision is blurry and my eyes are dry. So glad to know I am not alone. Going to my GP tomorrow to see if she can do anything.

For Sinusitis: This medication worked to clear up my sinus infection but gave me BLINDING, and I mean BLINDING headaches to the point where I couldn't even move my head without wincing in pain. That was the only side effect I experienced though. My guess is it's a pretty strong antibiotic and can affect everyone differently.

For Sinusitis: I was prescribed 500 mg twice a day Augmentin for a sinus infection. After the second dose I developed BAD stomach cramps, nausea and loose stools. I continued the Augmentin for three more days but finally had to stop taking it due to the fact that it was completely destroying my stomach. It was working wonders on my sinus infection but the side effects were too much to bear. Worst of all, I'm still having cramps and loose stools even though I stopped taking the Augmentin two days ago. I hope the issues resolve themselves soon and won't require a trip to my gastroenerologist. Augmentin may be fine for some people but it's definitely NOT for me!

For Dental Abscess: Amoxicillin worked the first time I had this dental infection. The infection has come back 3 times now and amoxicillin, for me, is pointless but of course the drs don't listen or think I'm exaggerating.

For Dental Abscess: I started taking amoxicillin immediately. My dentist prescribed it for a toothache. I take 1 twice a day for 10 days. After day one the pain went away but I had diarrhea and I felt very nauseous. Also I had fever and chills. By the end of the night I had vomited twice. Day two I just took a half a pill and still felt dizzy and light headed. I’ve taken this medication before in the past and I do not recall this kind of problem. But it knocked out the pain
