A member asked:
Does amoxicillin work for your sinus infection but augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) dont?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Both medications are commonly prescribed for sinus infections but Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) tends to be more effective in covering bacteria that Amoxicillin does not cover well. Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is essentially Amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid.
