A member asked:
Is any source accepted to take amoxil and augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) togather ?

No: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is already a form of amoxil, it just has an additional component that Amoxil alone does not have. The additional component is called clavulanate potassium a 'beta-lactamase inhibitor'. This addition keeps certain bacteria from inactivating the antibiotic. While some bacteria can neutralize amoxil, they cannot fight off Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) with it's special clavulanate potassium addition.

Not together.: Amoxil and Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) are similar antibiotics and should not be taken together.
