Drug Information
11 reviews for Amoxicillin + Clavulanate (Augmentin)
Augmentin is an antibiotic that contains two ingredients: amoxicillin (a penicillin) and clavulanic acid (also called clavulanate). It treats infections caused by bacteria, including some that amoxicillin alone cannot clear.
It is often used for sinus, ear, chest, skin, dental, urinary and animal bite infections.
What is it used for?
- Sinus and middle ear infections
- Chest infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia
- Skin infections, and infected animal or human bites
- Urinary tract and dental infections
How does it work?
Some bacteria make a chemical that breaks down amoxicillin before it can work. Clavulanic acid blocks that chemical. This protects the amoxicillin so it can stop the bacteria building their outer wall, which kills them.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not take it if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this antibiotic or to a similar one.
- Antibiotics only work on infections caused by bacteria. They do not help colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses.
- Take the whole course your doctor gives you, even if you feel better after a few days. Stopping early can let the infection come back and make germs harder to treat in the future.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breastfeeding.
- Never share your antibiotics or keep leftovers for another time.
- Do not take it if you are allergic to penicillin. Tell your doctor if you have ever reacted to any antibiotic, including cephalosporins such as cephalexin.
- Tell your doctor if you have glandular fever (mononucleosis), because this medicine is very likely to cause a rash in that case.
- Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, as your dose may need to be lower.
- Tell your doctor if you have ever had liver problems or yellowing of the skin (jaundice) after taking this medicine.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Augmentin can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Feeling sick (nausea) or being sick
- Diarrhoea or loose stools
- Stomach ache or indigestion
- Mild itchy rash
- Thrush (a yeast infection) in the mouth or vagina
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Severe diarrhoea that is watery or has blood in it, even up to 2 months after you finish the medicine
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, wheezing or trouble breathing
- A skin rash that blisters or peels, with fever and sore mouth or eyes
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine or pale stools (signs of liver problems)
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it exactly as your doctor tells you, usually 2 or 3 times a day.
- Take it at the start of a meal. This helps your body absorb it and reduces stomach upset.
- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
- Most courses last 5 to 14 days. Keep taking it until the course is finished.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and carry on as normal. Never take two doses at once to make up.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
- QWhy does Augmentin have two ingredients?
- A
Clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from bacteria that try to destroy it. This lets the medicine work against more types of infection.
- QWhy does Augmentin upset my stomach?
- A
Diarrhoea is the most common side effect. Taking each dose at the start of a meal can help. If diarrhoea is severe or has blood in it, contact your doctor straight away.
- QCan I take Augmentin if I am allergic to penicillin?
- A
No. It contains amoxicillin, which is a penicillin. Tell your doctor about your allergy so they can choose a different antibiotic.
