INTRODUCTION

Augmentin Tablet is a penicillin-based antibiotic that helps combat bacterial infections. It is commonly used to treat infections in the lungs (such as pneumonia), ears, nasal sinuses, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. However, it is not effective against viral infections like the common cold.

For best results, take Augmentin with food to minimize stomach discomfort. Follow your doctor’s prescribed schedule, taking it at evenly spaced intervals. Consistently taking it at the same time each day can help with adherence. The dosage depends on the condition being treated, but it is essential to complete the full course, even if symptoms improve. Stopping treatment too soon may allow bacteria to survive, causing the infection to return or worsen.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which are usually mild. However, inform your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have allergies to antibiotics or any kidney or liver conditions. Additionally, disclose all other medications you are taking, as they may interact with Augmentin. This antibiotic is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding if prescribed by a doctor.
