It can also be used for badly infected teeth in patients who have taken *alot* of amoxicillin over the course of several years…while resistance in individuals is rare (it’s largely a population/world concern for future generstions) when someone has repeated recurring infections even when the mouth is kept cleaner than clean, you end up getting alot of amoxicillin if you don’t have an allergy..after extractions of infected teeth, amoxicillin…abcesses, amoxicillin…sometimes some dentists will use clindamycin, but considering many of us respond to amoxicillin so well *at first*…alot of us end up taking gobs of it. Which brings me to my point. Taking it so regularly can cause a sort of resistance..it isn’t that the medication doesn’t work at all anymore, it’s that it doesn’t work as well…you’ll start noticing that an infection that would’ve previously been kicked with a 3 day course, now takes a full week or even longer, or higher/more frequent dosing. This can be mitigated to an extent by alternating with other antibiotics commonly used in dentistry like clindamycin…but augmentin is a great choice for those who have built a mild resistance to amoxicillin on it’s own, that said, the side effects are also more noticeable.

In March of this year I had an issue with my Appendix (acute Appendicitis) and was treated with the Hospital Antibiotics.They too found out I had some bacteria on my right lung and at the same time a Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver as well when they did a CT scan to find why I had a fever and fast heart palpitations(which they found my Appendix infection). So the doctors gave me a total of 10 day treatment of this Amoxicillin with this Acid (aka Augmentin) every 12 hours, discounting 2 days of whatever Antibiotic they gave me at the hospital, so for the next 8 days I was taking this stuff. By the 4th day I had all these bad and discomfort symptoms all over my body that I never had in my life; like my intestines and liver felt bloated inside (although no pain, no bleeding,no blood in my rear-end area, nor bloody urine, no jaundice,no swollen ankles to this day). But i do get palpitations from time to time around my liver area/ or upper right torso area--No pain just weird throbbing sensation. T I A

[@ShaneCM]

How long did it take for the bloating to go away?

You should get checked for alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency disorder. I have it and affects my lungs my mother was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver and died from it because it was never diagnosed correctly. She died waiting for a new liver. Also look into benefits of a keto diet.

I know that the extended-release has less clavulanate per tab, but it is still BID dosing. I thought choosing an extended-release version of a medication simply provided you with the benefit of improved compliance with patients because they can take it once daily instead of BID like an immediate release. I understand the extended-release portion of the medication, but since it is still BID, is there any reason to choose it over immediate release. I know you get a higher dose of amoxicillin, is there a benefit to having decreased clavulanate per dose? Sorry, I hope that makes sense. Thank you for the detailed video, it was very helpful.

This time same happened & I accidentally scratched the wound & in 24 hours the situation worsened & some small blisters started appearing ... So I took augmentin duo yesterday & even after taking it the blisters grew large in size. & The area was very warm and painful ..... But by evening the fluids of a big blister came out & now that area had turned black..... Meanwhile I called up my doc & he asked me to continue with augmentin .... & The rest of the blisters from which fluid couldn't come out have loosed up & the entire rare is no more worm or painful .... But the blisters are still there .... & I am worried because even after taking the medicine why did the blisters grow so big in the first place ?
