Common Questions and Answers about Augmentin high dose

augmentin

Avatar f tn *Augmentin XR 1000 -- This is a time-release formulation and thus is a better choice than standard Augmentin. Dose -- 1000 mg q 8 h, to 2000 mg q 12 h based on blood levels. * Chloramphenicol -- Not recommended, as not proven and potentially toxic. * Metronidazole -- 500 to 1500 mg daily in divided doses. Non-pregnant adults only.
Avatar m tn Hi, I went to the doctor and all tests are negative. I still have mild itchy foreskin and anus, little burning when peeing, no discharge (after receiving oral sex only, for about 1 minute, 12 days ago). I told the doctor I took Augmentin, he laughed at me and suspects NGU or gonorrhea. Since I am leaving the city for a long period of work the doctor gave me Zithromax 2gr and Cefixima 400mg all in one dose. Then test again in 1 month.... Is this cure good for gonorrhea, NGU, chlamydia? Thank you.
Avatar m tn anyone else have side effects AFTER STOPPING augmentin after the full 10 day dose? I have been off for two days and have awful sweating and hot flashes. I am male, and in relatively good shape. bp has been in the 140/70 range for three days. odd stuff. Ive usually had plain ole amoxicillin, but this stuff takes the cake.
Avatar n tn t believe it has something to do with Augmentin but I definitely do! Now my both knees are tingling. I took Augmentin before but I had no problem with it! Now I am out of work and need to see an ortho md and blood works for rheumatoid arthritis , lymes disease, etc.
Avatar m tn Scared I called my doctor, yet he told me that it is a side effect that is common with the high dose of augmentin I recieved. I finished the augmentin and I have no sore throat just thrush I recently started an anti fungal for it though. So I have some questions. 1.When someone contracts HIV are symptoms spread out like this? 2. Is 6 weeks too late to have symptoms of ARS? 3. Do you think that the thrush is medication related or HIV related, would it show up after 3 months?
Avatar m tn I may be the first casualty of detox coming down from such a high dose. The trouble is...my doctor is willing to just write more prescriptions with no hope of ever quiting or dealing with the pain I have in a different way. Surgery is not an option anymore, and I am hoping that some miracle herb will come along, but I doubt that. I worry that even if I do detox, the pain will be debilitating, so that I will be unable to work.
Avatar n tn I am on a very high dose of OC. Has anyone ever had any luck trying eo wean down from 8 to 16 OC 80's a day? I know it is a huge dose and I would like to wean down some to try to lower my tolerance. I know that I will always be on pain meds but I can not keep increasing the dose, so I thought if I tried to take as vacation , so to speak, maybe I could lower my tolerance. Has anyone else ever taken this high of a dose daily?
Avatar n tn My 12month old daughter has vomited in the middle of the night for the past 6 nights. She has been sick- first a cold then an ear infection and was on augmentin, but her last dose was yesterday. She is fine during the day but every night it is the same thing- her stomach starts making load gurgling noises and her mouth gets watery and she vomits. She sleeps with us and nurses before she goes to bed and then once more during the night.
Avatar m tn Saw no change (still white spots on swollen tonsils,NO PAIN). I further go prescribed augmentin tablets which I swallowed complete dose but nothing has changed. I am now confused. what the hell could this be. Anyone had a similar experience, please share.
Avatar f tn Also, if augmentin were to be used, the dose would be 2-4 times higher; and the duration of therapy should be 4 weeks. More evidence, I ypthink, that the dermatologist is not up to speed on syphilis.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone else has taken Augmentin. I was prescribed it for a double ear infection. Originally I was given acetic acid drops but they aren't working. I plan on calling my OB in the morning to double check. They are pregnancy category B. Although they are thought to be safe not many studies have been done on them. I'm nervous about everything. This is my first pregnancy and I am only 18. Thank you!!
250701 tn?1320974765 My lung Doctor called me in some augmentin because I have been coughing up thick yellow mucus. I just don't know if I can take it on treatment. Does anyone know??
Avatar m tn Two weeks ago, Monday the 7th I went to the doctor with a sever sore throat and was giving Augmentin to take for 10 days (twice a day). My throat was really sore, I had a 103 degree fever, and thyroid glands were swollen. Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen didn't do much to relieve the pain. The rapid strep test said I did not have strep throat, but after looking at my throat a few times the doctor believed the test was wrong and gave me Augmentin.
Avatar f tn i have syphilis but i discover it that i have this since february this year .. since my last check up i am taking benzathine pencilineG .. i started to take this medicine since february .. but until now i still have this syphilis .. when i got my check up the doctor said it was a new .. but i dont know what is the best medicine for this syphilis ..i have now .. i message you cause i am expecting and hoping that you can help me for my situation now ..
Avatar m tn It is highly likely that Augmentin in the dose and duration I just recommended would abort incubating gonorrhea -- which almost certainly you didn't catch anyway. You can safely take the drug then continue unprotected sex with your wife. The problem here isn't just STD; you apparently are reacting emotionally to the sexual event, perhaps conflicted about your own sexual orientation or preferences. But this isn't a counseling service, so that will be all for this thread.
Avatar f tn Well, I'd imagine your doctor wouldn't give you something that isn't safe but DO understand your concern. Did he swab the white stuff? Is your throat sore or the white stuff is just there? I was on long term antibiotics a while back for a tooth issue. I took antibiotics for a full month around the clock. A couple weeks after I was done, my GI tract went nuts. I was really sick at first with diarrhea an pain. I thought I had c diff to be honest.
640719 tn?1277140030 I’ll suggest using a combination of amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin) instead of keflex. Augmentin has been shown to be really effective in patients who are resistant to several antibiotics. Hence, trying it may help. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar f tn it was back and this time it went straight to dry inflamed mode. Augmentin did not help. In fact from all the augmentin I got yeast and/or BV. I was given flagyl which worked for 2 weeks then it all came back with a vengeance. I didn't just have vaginal inflammation but ulcerated sores in my rectum as well. I'm still suffering from that as medications didn't make it completely go away.
Avatar f tn m now trying the Augmentin again but am concerned about potential swelling and high bp (it was 185 the last time on it). After your additional info about the levaquin I'm glad to be off it even more now.
Avatar f tn Everyone, I got sudden cold, dry cough and high fever(101 - 102), it went for 23 days and came down with Augmentin after doing few blood test those ware normal. Then there was 10-12days i was batter and coming on routine. Again from last few days im having high fever (102 - 103)along with coughing that makes me to though up some chuck of food, some time thicky Yellowish greenish bitter test liquid. So my question is whome I should consult as previously i did MD and other one MD-PA....
Avatar f tn ve dated a few times, we had sex and the condom broke after he ejaculated inside. My question is I started taking Augmentin 875 mg this morning for an ear infection, will this keep me from catching anything? The man is an overall health nut and has disclosed that he's clean, but of course you never know.
Avatar n tn //www.medhelp.org/drugs/Augmentin/show/5288 It may be Augmentin or it may be something else. I think you should mention this to your doctor.
Avatar f tn If you have been reduced down to 112mcg of Levoxyl, your thyroid is not at a hyper stage, but the larger dose of Levoxyl may have driven your hormones high enough to make you feel Hyper. If your Levoxyl needs to be reduced again and again untill you are not taking any at all, then you may be looking at hyperthyroidism again. As much Levoxyl as you are taking, I doubt you will suffer full blown hyperthyroidism again unless it is from over-medication. Get tested four times a year.
237053 tn?1258828426 not a dr but i wouldn't think a dose of Augmentin would drastically impact the results of your western blot, esp since you're dealing with neurological symptoms, which suggests it would be in the later stages if it is lyme. has your dr checked your CD57 immune marker? it's a pretty common diagnostic test for lyme disease these days but it's not 100%. i noticed you've been on the MedHelp since 2007. have you been dealing with medical issues since then?
Avatar f tn 4 days on augmentin 825 for a chronic dental infection (now a bone infection), I started having major swelling in my hands. This is new, I've never had swelling like this. Yesterday my one hand looked freakishly red and swollen. It was so swollen, that when I straightened out my hand (which was difficult), everything turned white, inbetween the redness. Anyway, I tried going off the augmentin (I'm taking it in conjunction with clindamycin), and today I feel much less swollen.
Avatar f tn 2 yrs ago got an acute kidney infection ( high fever, blood in pee, the works) which was treated with augmentin. since then, I keep getting less acute infections and they come back every 3 months. Low fever, very tired, abdominal swelling (a lot), back pain, urine strips show white blood cells and protein and occasionally nitrates. I had a hysterectomy 4 weeks ago (large broad lig fibroid) and I hoped that might make a difference.
Avatar n tn my wife (35 y), last week she had tonsillitis with high temp 38 c, she started antibioetec (augmentin) and panadol for high temp, after two days she felt better but high temp still measured on the thermometer (but you can't feel it by touch , it is internal temperature only) with no symptoms, she is active and doesn't feel any issue, the only problem is the high temp on thermometer for the 6th day now (we tried same thermometer on us and it is working, we tried also other thermometers an
456333 tn?1206973213 Hi guys, Here is my question for all of you who have been on levo for awhile. I'm on week 3 of synthroid. The first week, I did 50mcg and it was too much, I felt really jittery so I cut back to 25 for a week and was feeling pretty good. But then I thought since the doctor prescribed the 50 I should try it again so about 5 days ago I upped it back to the 50mcg.
