I was recently prescribed Augmentin 875-125mg Tablets for a severe sinus infection. I've been taking them for a few days, but I'm feeling a bit worried about the potential side effects. The patient information sheet lists some serious side effects, including allergic reactions and liver problems. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? If so, what side effects did you experience? Are there any tips for managing the more common side effects like diarrhea and upset stomach?

I really hope everyone is okay. I took Augmentin for an ear infection and had the worst rash I've ever seen. My doctor put me on some cream and steroids to help it go away. It was a living nightmare.

Just take probiotics as a preventative measure. This will help prevent you from having to deal with the side effects.

I took Augmentin a few years back and had an allergic reaction. My throat started to close up, and I was wheezing pretty badly. Had to go to the ER. Scary stuff, and I'll never take it again. If you have any history of allergies, be extra careful.

I had horrible diarrhea when i was on Augmentin for 10 days. Couldn't go out. I had to work from home. I was sick and tired and went to the doctor. It turns out the diarrhea was caused by an antibiotic-resistant C diff infection. Lucky me. I was on 2 different antibiotics for 2 months before I could get over it.
