A member asked:

Have currently step throat was on augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) got a blotchy rash and my throat is still soar with horrible headaches i'm on warfarin can i take ibuprofe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk with prescriber: Rash w antibiotic = stop antibiotic &call prescriber ASAP. Augmentin contains amoxicillin - a rash can occur if URI is mononucleosis (virus). A + strep culture does not necessarily mean strep infection - you can "carry" strep without being "infected." However, rash can be an allergy to the med. Augmentin & ibuprofen each affect warfarin levels.The prescriber needs to make the call re ibuprofen.
