A member asked:

Would side effects from augmentin/co-amoxiclav -such as headaches and nausea -be likely to get worse as treatment continues, or dissipate as treatment continues?

Augmentin : The clauvulenic acid is the culprit with the stomach and associated nausea and commonly diarrhea. Headache is associated with Augmentin in less than 1 percent of patients. Especially stomach problems will persist while you are taking the medication and should resolve when stoppin.
