1 | Respiratory ailment | Horrendous diarrhea | I was given two shots in the rear after a long respiratory ailment I thought I could wait out. I was also prescribed this med to be taken once I day. I do not recall the dosage. The same day I started taking it, I got diarrhea--probably the worst I've ever had. No pain in my gut, but I couldn't leave the house--could barely leave the bathroom. I can only contact my doctor via a patient portal--but I immediately wrote and said no way! Because of the severity of my condition, I quit taking this drug immediately. I believe the shots I'd gotten took care of the bronchitis. Last Friday, I went in for stomach pain--my doctor suspected a bladder infection. She sent in a scrip that I moved heaven and earth to pick up. I looked down and it was for amoxicillan clav! I had two people suggest I start it while I waited for a replacement drug. I decided I had no interest in a repeat performance of this drug. | F | 69 | 1 days 1X day | 3/3/2024 | 5 | Throat bacterial infection | No side effects, only itchy private parts. | I got a bad throat infection I got after visiting Thailand. I couldn’t even speak. Amoxicillin took a while to work, but it did and no side effects, except for itchy private parts- but it was ok. Excellent drug, made my throat infection to go away. Just took a while to work like by the end of the week. I took it for 10 days. | F | 34 | 10 days 125 mg 2X day | 9/23/2023 | 1 | Sinus infection | I got a yeast infection two days after I started taking it and then again after I finished. Which was normal and the doctor gave meds to treat it. However, I've been having yeast infections ever since. I am 4 months out from taking this medicine and I'm still having issues with yeast infections. It's like I won't go away. I'm on my 3 week of a 6 week treatment. It's gotten better but still hasn't fully went away. I also got oral thrush 3 months after taking it as well. I feel like I will never be the same and I will always have to deal with this. Side note. I've never had issues with yeast infections and I've never had oral thrush before. I will never take that medicine again. I called the doctor who gave it to me and she said the medicine didn't cause it, but I know it did. I didn't have this problem until after I took it. | I will never take that medicine and it is noted in my chart to never give to me. The don't need to give this to anyone ever again. | F | 27 | 1 weeks 2X day | 7/27/2023 | 1 | sinus infection | severe diarrhea on 2nd day, 4th day vomiting, joint pain, all over muscle/body aches, to tired to get out of bed, ringing in ears, now blood with diarrhea. i am stopping this medicine, the side effects are worse than the sinus infection!!! | i was supposed to take it 10 days, if i had continued i probably would have died from dehydration! | F | 61 | 4 days 875/125 mg 2X day | 9/7/2021 | 3 | Strep throat | Throat is feeling much better, my face is warm and pretty red. I don't usually have such a red face. Also been slightly itchy. | F | 25 | 10 days 825 2X day | 2/24/2021 | 1 | UTI | Seizures. I also take dilantin for epilepsy Why would a doctor prescribe this stuff if it causes seizures? | M | 73 | 3 days 875/125mg 1X day | 12/25/2020 | 5 | Sinus infection | no side effects at all | I usually hate taking antibiotics, they make me very sleepy and I have broken out in a minor rash on my arm many years ago.

I was having a terrible time breathing and thought my upper respiratory infection had turned even worse. Turns out I had gained 8lbs of fluid in my stomach and lungs. I have been a heart patient for over 10 years and never have I had swelling like that. My DR doubled my water pills for 7 days and the fluid went down. I didn’t realize at the time it was this medicine until I missed a pill. The next morning I was fine until I took this amoxicillin and my swelling came back. It has also given me thrush in my mouth and the worst yeast infection I have ever had. I have always been fine with amoxicillin but have never had Clavulanate with it and I never will again. | F | 43 | 5 days 875/125 | 4/25/2019 | 5 | Puncture wound on foot | Skin flush on upper body, loose stools, high energy! | This was given along with a tetanus shot after I stepped on a very ugly nail. Yet I wonder if I had an underlying infection of sorts. My usual pain and aches have greatly subsided and I have energy. What gives? I've been on this med for 5 days and have a few more days to go. | F | 50 | 5 days 875/125 mg | 4/8/2018 | 3 | Strep Throat | Extreme tired, no energy for anything. Ringing in the ears after 6th day. Have never felt so tired, taken amoxi 10 years ago, no side effects. | M | 68 | 10 days 500 mg 2X day | 3/17/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Face becomes extremely hot and red. Fop of my head felt like it was going to explode. W Ears high pitch ringing continually. Chill and then overheating. | Don't take this medicine...should be off the market | F | 73 | 1 days 875 mg | 11/18/2016 | 5 | sinus infection | M | 58 | 14 days 875/125 2X day | 10/13/2016 Patient History | 1 | Viral infection | This is poison. Took only 1/2 of this horse pill and woke up soaked in sweat, sluring speech and fading in and out according to husband. Rushed to ER. Horrible stuff. FDA should ban this! | Never had any issues with Amox until this. Something has changed. I would steer clear of this stuff. Imagine if I had taken the whole pill. Stopped use after 1/2 dose | F | 40 | 10 days 875 | 5/13/2016 | 2 | Cat bite | Took a total of 5 days..day 5 was awful! Every joint on my body ached,my back made it impossible to sit ..plus legs hurt so bad I couldn't walk. Also started getting very lightheaded and yes..it made me constipated .I i felt as though I had the flu ,but this would come over me 3-4 hours after taking recommended dosage. Cat bite healed and Dr not in on weekend..short of the E.R. I took it upon myself to discontinue med's. | Miserable medicine!! I have taken Amoxicillin before with no problems but this one threw me for a loop...never again ..I've been off 1 day and still waiting for lightheaded feeling to subside . | F | 64 | 10 days 875 2X day | 4/9/2016 | 1 | sinus infection | severe nausea, violent vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea | Do no take....this medicine made me so ill I almost ended up in the hospital and that was after 1 pill. Could not stop vomiting! | F | 62 | 1 days 875 MG 2X day | 4/1/2015 | 3 | dog bite on hand | Extremely loose stool | By the morning after the fourth dose, stools are so loose that I am afraid to leave the house - these side-effects are far in excess of those I've experienced on other antibiotics - however, the nurse said Augmentin is the best antibiotic to use for dog bites so I need to get through the next five days the best I can - I should have taken the probiotic pills from the first day - started on them yesterday and they help! | F | 63 | 7 days 125 mg. 2X day | 4/18/2012 | 2 | For a flare up of Hidradenitis | Holy Cow...Major stomach cramps, Extra bowel movements, (Not diarrhea) but not constipation either. TOO Normal, will call it Mild Diarrhea but gone twice a day, cramps are continuous, also unusual bleeding from vagina...(Not Period, as Tamoxifen has stopped them since June of last year. Only lasted 2 days...Can't get rid of the cramps, feels like a "Muscle Tightness" of my lower abdomen. Don't know what to make of it.. Stopped taking them, the heck with it. | F | 44 | 4 days 400mg 2X day | 4/26/2011 | 3 | double ear infection | tooth staining, loose stools | my son, age 3.5, had stained teeth by the 6th day of taking this. We brush his teeth 2x a day and had just been to the dentist 2 weeks ago for a cleaning. I know the meds caused this staining. It says on the paper from the pharmacy that it may cause staining of teeth in children and to tell the doctor if it occurs. The doctor stated that this does not usually happen from amoxicillin but to brush his teeth with baking soda and water. I don't know how that will go over with a 3 year old who doesn't know how to spit very well yet. | M | 3 | 10 days 5.1 ml 2X day | 2/8/2011 |
