Question 2

How long does it take a ten day course of augmentin 875-125 to leave your system? i finished the medication seven days ago.

Accepted Answer

The medication has quite a short half-life, which is why it is taken 2x a day- since the first dose in the morning wears away, then you need a second dose. Generally we think of 5x the half-life as a 'complete' elimination of the drug - so you are well beyond that... it would have been totally gone after a couple days. If you're having symptoms of some kind though, you should check with a doc.

There are many antimicrobial drugs, each has it's own properties and secondary effects.

The usual possible reasons a person taking an antibiotic for bronchitis does not see her bronchitis resolve include:  her pills labelled Augmentin are not really Augmentin, the dose is too low, it's too soon for improvement, her bronchitis is not caused by bacteria, the bacteria are resistant to Augmentin, there is a second lung problem in addition to bronchitis, what looks like bronchitis is not.

Question 10

I have diverticulitis, on augmentin for 5 days out of 10. still have pain and my temp is 96. shouldn't the pain be gone by now? why is the temp so low?

Accepted Answer

Most important thing I see is ongoing pain. If you're sure its diverticulitis (proven by tests) its VERY important to know not all cases respond to antibiotic pills. Some need IV antibiotics, or need abscess (pus collection) drainage by needle in a CT scan; some need colectomy (bowel removal surgery). Using antibiotic pills 1st is proper, but won't cure all. Tell your Dr. if you still have pain.
