A member asked:

Taking a very strong dose of augmentin and its making me feel pretty crappy. what can i do to ease the side effects? probiotics and yogurt not working

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Augmentin: I suggest you take the antibiotic with some food. You may already be doing so and also taking probiotics is a good idea. Some people have sensitive stomachs to antibiotics in general. Hope this helps!
