1	R Says: Report Abuse Sunday, 6/19/2005 12:37:09 AM Basically, amoxicillin mixed with clav-something acid which just enhances the effect of amoxicillan, an antibiotic. Used for chest/skin/ear/throat infections..
2	Some Guy Says: Report Abuse Thursday, 8/30/2007 6:34:40 PM Was given for severe swollen, kissing tonsils, with an absys on one, closed airway, swollen lymph nodes in neck, and accompanied by four day fever. two days on it and so far, feeling a bit better.
3	Verwon Says: [Moderator] Wednesday, 9/5/2007 12:11:12 PM The other ingredient is Clavulanic Acid, this is a generic for Augmentin. The Clavulanic Acid helps to prevent the growth of bacteria, while the Amoxicillin fights the infection that is already there.

6	Getting Better1 Says: Report Abuse Wednesday, 4/22/2009 6:27:21 PM I'm on Amox/Clav 875/125 and I haven't experienced any of the side effects yet. I had a nasty sinus infectin that has lingered for 4 weeks, and now has become a painful chest cold. After only 2 days on these meds my condition is improving and I only experience very mild drowsiness. The drowsiness is even less than if I take a benadryl. If your doctor prescribes it, then you should take it. No one should self-medicate with prescriptions. If you have concerns about a particular medication, as your doctor and do not just make decisions on your own.
7	Sarahbell Says: Report Abuse Friday, 4/24/2009 9:01:34 AM I am taking amox-clav for a sinus infection that has been lingering for a few weeks. To avoid being ill you should eat yogurt with this medication. I have not had any negative side effects from taking this medication.
8	Sinusgirl Says: Report Abuse Friday, 6/5/2009 1:29:41 AM I'm on amox-clav 875mg for a nasty sinus infection. I have recurrent sinus infections, and this is my first time on the drug. After two pills (that's one day of the medicine) I am already feeling sweet relief. No side effects and I now look at this med with reverence.
9	Marc Says: Report Abuse Saturday, 6/27/2009 5:38:13 PM I am on it now. Had complaints about constant dizziness for the last four month. After an MRI was prescibed Amox-Clav as MRI revealed an inflamation behind the inner ear. Been on it now for two days, and today I feel terrible...more dizzy after getting a little better prior to taken this drug, hope they are not side effects...need no more dizzyness.
10	Sheryl Patio Says: Report Abuse Wednesday, 9/9/2009 8:18:07 AM I have one swollen tonsil and one pus pocket on throat. Hurts mostly in the morn. I am stuck in bed wit foot surgery and can't get to doctor. There is amox-clav and amoxicillian in the medicine cabinet. (can't find penicillian) can anyone give me the name of correct meicine to take? I will find it if you are sure that it is for sore throat.. Gargle with warm salt water helps but doesnt cure. How about gargling with hydrogen peroxide....(just done swallow- I know) Help me please
11	Sheryl Patio Says: Report Abuse Wednesday, 9/9/2009 9:01:27 AM I just wanted to say that I have done hydrogen peroxide but I DID NOT swallow. Pleease respone with any respone that can help thanks
12	Pistons58 Says: Report Abuse Saturday, 10/17/2009 12:53:47 PM I got a script last night at the ER for this....cat bite to upper lip - they gave it to me to prevent an infection ... but all I have found states it's for an existing infection. 1 pill down and yeah, hit the bathroom many times but had IV antibiotics last night to. Has anyone heard of prescribing in a preventative means?
