| 4 | sinus infection | no side effects from day 1 to day 5, slight diarhhea, maybe cause i take acidophilus/probiotics, on day 6 tired but manageable... | i have been taking different kind of antibiotics to get rid this sinus infections, from amoxicillin, didn't help, took levaquin after that for 5 days, then biaxin, help a little, then z pak, didn't help, try avelox but too strong for me cause of side effects, now taking augmentin seems to work..i probably got a bug that is resistant now... | M | 5 days | 3/20/2008 | 5 | infected cat triple-puncture bite | I take med with food as directed, including a yogurt with 7 active cultures. On day 2 side effects began even as my sore, swollen finger magically healed. Continuously now, I have had constant abdominal ache and back ache, frequent loose stools, and a mostly slight feeling of nausea. | Rx was a total of 21 pills over 7 days and I'm going to stick it out till the end. The med worked wonderfully well getting rid of the infection, but I will never take it again unless there is no other choice. | F | 75 | 6 days | 3/16/2008 | 2 | pneumonia | Severe diarrhea, headaches, loss of appetite, anxiety | It helped me get better but the sideeffects were bad. | M | 17 | 10 days | 3/15/2008 | 4 | Sinus Infection | EXTREME ANXIETY mixed with bouts of crying, depression, and feelings of hopelessness. Constant headache, sweating. | I had a raging sinus infection, and it worked to get rid of the infection, but I almost lost my mind staying the course of the ten day treatment. If I ever need an antibiotic in the future, I will ask for an alternative. The cure was awful. | M | 55 | 10 days | 3/14/2008 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Obviously reading some of the other entries on this drug I guess your results could vary but I always took the medicine with food, plus one serving of yogurt and a healthy dose of quality Probiotics (Available at any health food store). Taking the probiotics with the augmentin helped me avoid all side effects with the exception of some loose stools but nowhere near the realm of anything severe. Sinus symptoms actually had marked improvemet in 2 days. | M | 44 | 10 days | 3/6/2008 | 1 | son taking for sinus infection | after two doses of 800mg ea. time, my son started acting very strange and very confused. Using the wrong words for things and shaking head yes, when answering no. VERY SCARY Dr. switched him to cephlexin, havent' started it yet. anyone else with these symptons? | F | 1 days | 3/5/2008 | 2 | Respiratory Infection | Very tired, mood swings, loss of appetite and horrible diarrhea at times | Was prescribed 875 mg twice daily for 10 days. I noticed an immediate change in my respiratory condition after the first dose. Each day my cough has decreased and overall I feel pretty good... except for the diarrhea. I had it only once or twice a day on days 1 & 2, but when day 3 came along I found my self going anywhere from once to three times an hour. Sorry to be graphic but this was horrible watery bile that burned. The doc recommended the BRAT diet which I started in the morning, by mid afternoon I wasn't having to make bathroom stops anymore and went almost a full 24 hours with no diarrhea. I also started eating live culture yogurt which seems to be helping. I have six more days to go which I'm not looking forward too. My doc said that from here on out if diarrhea occurs more than twice in one day I should stop taking the Augmentin and come in for another eval. What amazes me is the official medication website says that only 9% of users experience what I have, that | M | 23 | 4 days | 2/29/2008 | 1 | sinus infection, ear infection | Took for almost two weeks and developed a severe yeast infection in my throat and esophagus. Developed itching of the body also. Terrible burning in chest and neck from yeast infection. Now having to take fluconazole which has its own list a terrible side effects. | F | 45 | 12 days | 2/28/2008 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Severe diarrhea! Headaches. Yeast infection. | Sinus infection has improved. Diarrhea started on 2nd day. It is very severe. Have had headaches everyday. Yeast infection started yesterday. I am now on day 5 (out of the 14 prescribed) and just called my dr. to have her switch me to a different antibiotic. I have taken Augmentin in the past and do not remember having side effects this severe. | F | 38 | 5 days | 2/27/2008 | 1 | oral surgery--to prevent infection | scalp tenderness, headaches, lump on neck, dark urine, vicious head-to-toe hives | obviously allergic to this bad drug . . . now on prednisone, zantac, and an antihistamine like zyrtec . . . scalp tenderness better and lump gone but i have chills, my urine is still not right, and the hives are WAAAAAAY worse . . . anyone know how long it takes to get rid of hives with this prednisone therapy? doctor said i'd notice improvement in 48 hours . . . isn't happening . . . | M | 40 | 7 days | 2/25/2008 | 1 | Non-strep soar throat | Bloody diarrhea. Stomach cramps. I've read depression in other posts, well ya. On the pot every hour with no satisfaction. | Doc prescribed after left side soar throat visit. He asked if I had and allergic reactions to meds, aspirin once, but he said this would be ok if I took with food. I did, it wasn't, for 3 days now. Stop taking after 4 of the 12 days. | M | 31 | 4 days | 2/23/2008 | 2 | Sinus infection | After the first two days, bloating and nausea. After the first week extremely sharp pains behind knees, aching shoulders/fingers/joints, swollen fingers, lethargic. | Feel like I'm 80 yrs. old. Can't function at work, just want to rest. Will never agree to using this product again. | M | 51 | 14 days | 2/22/2008 | 4 | ear infection/perforated ear drum | Diarrhea Day 3, 4 & 5 Body Rash Day 9 | Luckily my doctor cautioned me to eat yogurt and take probiotic tablets during and after the Augmentin AND gave me two doses of Fluconazole (oral medicine for yeast infections) | F | 47 | 10 days | 2/19/2008 | 3 | Post-flu respiratory infection | Diarrhea, headache, lowered body temperature, nausea | It's hard for me to actually rate this since I was put on it at the end of a really bad and long case of the flu. I contracted a "post-influenza upper respiratory" infection which affected my ears, sinuses, breathing and eyesight. Within 30 minutes, I experienced non-stop diarrhea, my body temp actually lowered and I got a headache which I rarely get. I go back to the doctor after the weekend so we'll see. I am allergic to most antibiotics so if this helps, I'll live with the diarrhea. | F | 47 | 3 days | 2/17/2008 | 4 | Sinus Infection | Nausea, fatigue, headache, achey muscles | Seems to be getting rid of sinus infection, but am relieved to see I'm not the only one experiencing these symptoms. Thought I was coming down with the flu, but can see it's the antibiotic. So long as I'm not actually getting sick I think I can live with this for a couple more days. | F | 52 | 6 days | 2/13/2008 | 3 | Sinus/ear infection | Med was working to take care of my infection, however, I had to discontinue taking it on day 5 of a 10 day course because of increasing gas/stomach upset and diarrhea. It took 2 more days after stopping Augmentin for stomach trouble to stop. Talked to my doctor and switched to Septra(Bactrim). No more stomach problems!!! Augmentin is generally a very good med, but stomach upset issues are not uncommon. | F | 46 | 5 days | 2/11/2008 | 3 | throat infection | 2 weeks of diarrhea (at least frequency of movements was regular) | M | 37 | 10 days | 2/7/2008 | 2 | bronchitis | After day 8 on 10 day cycle I began having terrible blood-tinged mucous diarrhea for 3 days and it's still continuing. I'm in the bathroom 8 time/day at the minimum. I've never had diarrhea in my life. The bronchitis was gone after day 4 and I wish I would've stopped the antibiotic then. I'll never take Augmentin again!!!!!! | F | 41 | 8 years | 2/4/2008 | 3 | Sinusitis | Felt tired, weak, breathless after 5 days. My ENT-MD was not able to explain these symptoms but encouraged me to stay the 21 course. Not impressed yet. | M | 63 | 11 days | 2/3/2008 | 1 | swollen glands | i took this tablet for 2 days and it caused me diarrhea ,so i started taking with food, after 2 days i found yeast infection,and after 2 days i got rashes all over the body which is very horrible. | F | 29 | 1 weeks | 2/1/2008 |
