Doctor insights on: Amoxicillin And Potassium Clavulanate Tablets Ip

Meds: Yes

Yes: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) does come in liquid form, although not in that concentration. You can get other concentrations and adjust the dose to equal the strength you need.

No: No not the appropriate antibiotic. In my community the chlamydia is not fully cleared.

Call the pharmacy: Where you filled the prescription, they are the best to tell you if that's fine with the form they gave you, best wishes

Yes, but drink it all: You can mix the two together, but then you have to be sure you or your child drinks every last little bit of the combination to get all of the medicine. The medicine you ask about, augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is not very palatable, especially the generic. Yu can also ask many pharmacists to flavor the medication if you or child can't stand the taste, or chase it with something like m&m's to make it taste better.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics will control an infection, but do not remove the cause of the infection (your wisdom tooth). In the end, you'll still need to see a dentist, probably for an extraction. Why wait? You're only prolonging your suffering. Please call for an appointment.

High blood pressure: No, you should not take either of these meds until your doctor has seen you and planned medication to lower your blood pressure. It will happen!

After: Your course of antibiotics is finished AND you feel better! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

Absolutely: The two drugs are completely different and should not cross react. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic and hopefully destroys bacteria. (it will not help if you have a viral infection). Mucinex (guaifenesin) thins secretions and it is very helpful in that it tends to liquify mucus and allows you to handle the thickened mucus if you have a dry cough. Only caveat is are you sure you have a bacterial infection?

NO!!!!!!!!!: Not a chance in the world. For laboratory-confirmed tests, false negatives (the THC is in your system but the level is below the cut-off value) are common but false positives aren't. Sometimes people get surprised by a (+) test b/c they don't realize how long THC and its metabolites continue to be released in the urine. A regular +/- heavy user may test (+) a month after last use. Dr. Anne

It is OK: Very common combination for treating sinusitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin. By mixing both medications there is a potential increase level of each drug in the blood, .

Few times.: The most common STD infections are not treated with amoxicillin. There are still some infections that can be treated with penicillin. Consult with your doctor on the best treatment alternatives. Different STDs have different treatments, some respond to antibiotics, some to antivirals, and some to medical procedures or other types of medications.

Yes: Missing periods during time of sickness is common. It does not necessary mean you are pregnant. That said, if it doesn't come back or if you have other signs, get a home pregnancy test to be sure.

Too much: For a normal tooth infection Amoxicillin 875mg two times a day for a week is enough. Metronidazole would only be prescribed if you had a serious infection or if the amoxicillin was not helping. Remember antibiotics do not cure tooth infections. They are prescribed in conjunction with treatment, usually a root canal.

Here are some...: You may ask your prescribing doctor for specific answer to your concern or try taking this antibiotics and pepto-bismol liquid in 3 hours apart so to benefit from the intended effects from both. Nonetheless, certain side effects may occur in certain people from taking certain drugs; no doctor can predict such. So, report suspected side effects to your doctor. Best wish to your health...

Yes: This should be quite safe unless you are allergic to penicillin.

Probably: Emergency contraceptives are not 100% effective even without being on antibiotics, and it is thought that antibiotics may decrease their effectiveness even further. However, it is not know how significant that decrease is. I would suggest you check a pregnancy test in a couple weeks regardless. And if you are taking antibiotics, use a condom or diaphragm for protection instead of hormonal pills

Not recommended: It is generally not recommended to drink alcoholic beverages while on antibiotics. Best to finish the full course befoe drinking alcohol.

Not such a good idea: Given that they expired over 1 1/2 years ago, I would not take them as they are partly organic molecules which can start disintegrating after their expiry date.

This antimicrobial: Is a fixed combination of the pencillin class medication Amoxicillin with a compound that inhibits bacterial betalactamase expanding the activity of the amoxicillin.
