Been taking augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) for 20 days. doctor changing me to amoxicillin. what are chances of allergy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No chance: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is just Amoxicillin with an added medication called clavalinic acid which stops bacteria from deactivating the amoxicillin. So if you had no allergic reaction to augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) you won't have any reaction to Amoxicillin because you were actually already already taking amoxicillin.

The same: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is a combination of Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid- the first is the brand name, the latter the generic name. Why do you need the drug for more than 20 days?
