A member asked:
Can you take cephalexin if you are allergic to augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
probably: First of all, how do you know you are allergic to augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate)? The medication is actually 2 drugs (amomxicillin+clavulanic acid) and can cause rashes that are not due to allergy. Most patients who develop a rash with Amoxicillin can tolerate cephalexin. To be on th esafe side, see an allergist/immunologist.
