What Augmentin Is Used For
Augmentin is an antibiotic in the class of drugs called penicillins. Augmentin is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin.
Dosage
Take all of the Augmentin that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Symptoms may begin to improve before the infection is completely treated.
Side Effects of Augmentin
Side effect you may experience while taking Augmentin may include mild diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, rash, white patches in the mouth (thrush/yeast infection), or vaginal yeast infection or diaper rash. If you experience an allergic reaction (shortness of breath; closing of the throat; hives; swelling of the lips, face, or tongue; rash; or fainting) or diarrhea that is severe or lasts longer than 3 days, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Precautions
Augmentin may decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Use a second method of birth control while taking Augmentin to ensure protection from unintended pregnancy. Before taking Augmentin, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease or mononucleosis. Augmentin is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not, however, take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. Augmentin passes into breast milk. Rarely, Augmentin may cause a yeast infection, diarrhea, or allergic reaction in a nursing infant, although no serious harm is expected. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
