 5   Yeast infection This is a wonderful drug. Gave me my first penile yeast infection (WOHOO!, good stuff) but it cleared my UTI in no time. I didn't realize that my UTI was gone coz of the yeast, but this was a tolerable side effect compared to having a UTI that could've spread to my kidneys. M 22 7 days

 4  UTI / Inner Ear Infection GI Sensitivity, cramps, mild headache, itchiness, dizziness Aside from the loose stool, this medicine is a heavy hitter, and does work. My headache and dizziness could've been from the inner ear infection, not the antibiotic. I still have two days left on the medicine and want to see how long the side effects last. F 27 7 days

 5  Infection from wound on ankle upset stomach I had a very bad infection on my ankle. It started to sread into my foot and it began to swell. The doctor told me that I may have waited to long to see him and that the infection might require additional treatment at a specialized clinic. Before we did this he wanted to at least try an antibiotic. He gave Augmentin 875 and after just 36 hours the redness and swelling was almost 100% clear. The doctor was even suprised with the results. No further treatment for the infection was needed. M 22 10 days

 3  Severe Tonsillitis I have only taken one pill and I can hardly keep my eyes open wich is what prompted me to find this site. I am praying that I don't get the other awful side effects that are listed here. F 35 1 days

 3  An infected sweat gland So far I have taken 3 doses and I am so tired I can bairly keep my eyes open. I never nap during the day but I want to so bad. I also feel depressed and very sick to my stomach. These Side effects are not good to have when you are a stay at home mom of three. I have had this conditon three times in the past. This time it has grown so big I can hardly move my arm. I have confidence this will work. It has already shrunk in size and is not draining as much. F 27 15 days

 2  ear infection No unusual side effects besides the usual gastrointestinal problems that accompany most antibiotics, but on the 5th day I broke out in blotches. They weren't very bothersome and cleared up with Benadryl, and it might have been a reaction to the original fever, but I was taken off the medication and am not allowed to take penicillin-class drugs anymore. If you are allergic to this drug, be careful of sulfa drugs, as it increases your risk of being allergic to those. I was given Bactrim as an alternative to Augmentin a few weeks ago and had a far more severe reaction to that than to the amoxicillin, including a brutal, burning, itchy rash all over my body and a fever that didn't fade for several days. Be very careful. F 18 5 days

 5  urinary tract infection vaginal yeast infection other than the yeast infection, which most antibiotics seem to cause, this drug was a wonder-drug. I had had a UTI for a long time that I couldn't get rid of with anything else. I'm allergic to sulfa drugs so they gave me the augmentin and after the first dose I was actually able to urinate again, whereas before I couldn't at all but felt like I had to at all times. F 21 10 days

 3  animal bite I developed pseudomembranous colitis after about 5 days on Augmentin. I also had muscle aches and stiffness. I ended up in the ER twice to have IV fluids because, and I'm not exagerrating, I was on the toilet crapping bloody mucous about every 60 minutes for two or three days so I couldn't sleep for more than an hour at a time. If you experience similar symptoms of severe diarrea, talk to your doctor immediately; in addition to the risk of dehydration, pseudomembranous colitis can cause the body to go into shock and is potentially fatal. About a month after I stopped Augmentin I had another episode of PMC and ended up in the ER while on vacation. I'm sure it does a good job as an antibiotic because it kills everything. F 29 5 days

 1  Sinus Infection Severe nausea within 1 hour. Vomiting and dry heaves followed for about 2 hours. I felt like I had a bad case of influenza - achy, dizzy, headache, etc. Symptoms lasted about 6 hours. I didn't take any more. Not sure why the doc made this the first line of attack. I can tolerate amoxicillin much better. M 50 1 days

 3  sinus infection i made it 6 1/2 days on this stuff until i started vomiting and had the most watery stool i have ever had. i have been off it for 2 days and seem to be feeling better, but i think my sinus infection is coming back. i have tried zithromax in the past and have never had a problem with it, plus i only had to take it for 5 days, i will go back to that. if you can make it for 10 days on this medication, it will clear up your sinus infection, but the GI side effects can be severe. M 36 7 days

 4  Infected cat bite Severe fatique, Complete loss of appetite. Itching around wound site, diaziness, diarrhea. My hand had been greatly swollen, after 3 tablets (36 hours) the swelling has been reduced by about half and fatigue and dizziness are gone. Itching may be a symptom of healing. Taking SANDO generic for Augmentin '875'. 17 tablets to go. M 3 times

 3  Infection Of Jizz Canal Very runny and explosive Gonorrhea. Itchy butthole. Sweaty itchy nuts. I also had cauliflower growing on my scrotum but then it turned green like broccoli. Rainbow colored Feces. Marital split that resulted in divorce. Ok stuff I guess. My sperm went from a deep yellow to an off-white yellowish color. Most of the blood was gone after 7 weeks. I got custody of my kids when my wife left. M 28 5 months

 1  mild flu symptoms Piercing abdominal cramps, diahorrea, wind, bloating, mood swings, depression, fluid retention (..can't fit into my jeans!), and insomnia (although was unsure if a direct side effect at the time) I have had piercing abdominal cramps, persistant wind, bloating, diahorrea - with pains waking me up in the night for 3 weeks now. I freeze in my steps when the pain starts - it is so overwhelming. I look 3 months pregnant and my body is holding fluid in an attempt to dilute the antibiotic. The scary thing is I only had a 5 day course (2 tabs per day) which I finished 2 weeks ago. I can't eat anything without instantly having wind, pain, and bloating followed closely by multiple violent trips to the toilet - usually just before retiring to bed. Not fun at all!! I was very close to admitting myself to hospital in the wee hours of this morning. The flu disppeared - no problem, but the side effects are so depessing and exhausting I will ask my doctor never to prescribe Augmentin for me or my family again. F 37 5 days

 5   INSOMNIA (it's 2:21 am right now), yeast infection, itchiness, hives, frequent urination Even though the side effects SUCK, it was the only thing strong enough to kill off my heinous sinus infection. F 21 10 days

 1  Sinusitis/headaches Diarrhea with blood, abdominal pain and spasms, vomiting, weight loss, inability to eat foods, bloatedness After 6 days on RX, I stopped use due to feeling bloated and upset stomach. MAJOR SIDE EFFECTS OCCURRED AFTER STOPPING USE: one day later, I woke up with violent stomach wrenching, vomited the Tums and Pepto Bismol I took, constant diarrhea with some blood, I lived on the toilet for 6 hours; upper abdominal cramping was so painful and strong it left me weak ,helpless; I've have 3 days of diarrhea and abdominal cramping so far. Doctor said stool sample came back negative for ANTIBIOTIC-INDUCED COLITIS; but I'm checking with a specialist anyway, my gut is not the same now and I can't eat anything except crackers, soup, water and yogurt so far. F 41 6 days

 1  Sinus infection Covered with huge welts on trunk of body; moving to extremities. Stopped taking meds at 5 days, welts started on day 6. It did cure my sinus infection, BUT, I think these welts as a side effect would not be worth taking this med again, but look for alternative solution. F 41 5 days

 1  cat bite/prevent infection Welts developed on trunk on day 5 after taking meds for only about 3 days. The hives lasted about one week with putting on topical Cortizone Creme. I thought the hives were from the stress, until I took the meds again a few months later and it happened again! Not worth it. . . F 41 3 days

 4  Sinus infection Diarrhea first few days followed by bloating, cramping and general upset stomach. Painful headache. Flushed face and sweating. Lethargy. My stomach has been the most affected by side effects. I'm on day 8/10 and I'm still having gas, bloating, cramping etc. I noticed a very intense headache that 600 mg of ibuprofen gets rid of. Also, I had this strange feeling like I suddenly had a fever (lasted for only an hour or two each day, usually at night). Reading other comments, I think this must be due to the antiobiotic. My sinus infection is much better (not gone completely yet). The side effects would not stop me from taking it again. Severe sinus infections call for the big guns, and the stomach discomfort is nothing compared to the severe pain in my eyes and face I had from the infection. F 32 10 days
