Amoxicillin / clavulanate for Bronchitis Reviews
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Had bronchitis after five weeks from having CABG surgery. My doctor prescribed Augmentin and it worked after having the first pill. At this time, I am in my second day and the fever is gone, minor cough, and to my surprise, my sinuses are clearing too since I have chronic sinus allergies."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Cleared up a bad case of bronchitis in a week and only side effects were some coughing an hr or so after taking it as all the bacteria was dying and body getting rid of it in the mucus. Take it with food and a lot of water. It works excellent, side effects are very minor and you should also consider taking a probiotic during and after using it just take a few hrs before or after it. Very effective antibiotic!"
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "This is the best antibiotic for the treatment of sinusitis and bronchitis. ALL antibiotics can give you diarrhea because they also can destroy the 'good' bacteria in your gut. You can alleviate this by taking a probiotic in small doses, or just have some yogurt for breakfast."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Excellent antibiotic for bronchitis! I haven't been sick in over 1 year since full-time retirement as a nurse manager; spring hit early in Rhode Island, with its fluctuating temperatures and abounding viruses/bacteria, and wham! Sickness with a nagging cough and productive sputum came with it. Augmentin for 7 days was prescribed by the NP. On day 4, feeling much better."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Went to urgent care for chronic bronchitis, and the doc gave me Biaxin, which I told him did not work in the past. Fever elevated two degrees in two days. Went back, he gave me doxycycline, which eventually stopped the yellow mucus production for a few days, then right back. I went to my own doctor this morning, and she gave me Augmentin. Have an allergy to Avelox. After one dose, I can tell this is working better than doxycycline did in two days, so definitely recommend."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "This is the second time I have been on this medicine for bronchitis. The first time around, it worked great, but this time not so fast. I have been on it for 4 days, and my symptoms are still the same, just not as intense."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Hit with a sore throat, cough etc...thought it was a cold. I went back to work after limited activity for a weekend and taking Monday off. Two days later I was worse!!! Thinking it was the flu, I went to the Dr. after a night of heavy coughing, major phlegm from this coughing and cramping, unable to have a bowel movement, tried to vomit, (It was globs of only blood! I was taking severe strength cold/flu medicine (650 mg acetaminophen every 4 hours), which contributed to the constipation. I had no voice along with the sore throat and being very weak. The Dr. said I had Bronchitis and not the flu. (Temperature was 98.5 BP 117/82.) Prescribed Augmentin. I was alive again after 4 hours from taking this! 3 days into a 10 day regimen and I feel so much better. I Never had Bronchitis before. This is a great treatment! No side effects as of now."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Every spring and fall in Dallas, everyone gets allergies. This always turns into a sinus infection and bronchitis in a week or two, and this medication takes care of it without any other complications."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Knocked out in short order a bad case of Bronchitis. Coughing jags that were out of control stopped within the first 24 hours. Now on eighth day of meds and feel human again. Only side effect was slight diarrhea ."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "I'd been struggling with a very nasty Bronchitis for over 10 days, had been taking useless Amoxicillin to no avail. Switched over to Augmentin Duo Forte and had some much needed relief in only 5 hours. I've found this combo very effective for Bronchitis/Pneumonia and Sinus, which I suffer every April with a change in Weather. Sure you do need to take some probiotics. All good from me."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "I am on day 2 of Antibiotics. I took the Z pack only one dose and had horrible reaction to it. (Swelling of face, fever, diarrhea YOU NAME IT) Stopped taking it and two days later started Augmentin. I have been taking Culturelle (Lactobacillus GG) Two hours before or after taking the antibiotics. Seems to be helping. No diarrhea. No gas. No hives/Itchy skin. But I don't know if its long enough to tell. ***Take those pro-biotics. *** Dairy products are putting me over the edge. Stick to non dairy while taking this."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "This antibiotic is the best when it comes to treating sinus infections, I have had bronchitis for about 3 months and it’s clearing everything up! I have a very weak stomach and have never been able to take antibiotics and finish a full round, so this time I started taking Omeprazole 30 minutes before my dose is due and, of course, with food and only once experienced stomach upset. I have read a lot of people complain about diarrhea, I suffer from constipation and have been to the bathroom very often, so I’m guessing that is my equivalent of that"
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "had bronchitis going on 1 week and finally visited a Dr. that prescribed Augmentin. Was also given an injection of another antibiotic and a steriod. This evening 12 hours later I'm feeling so much better"
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "I've always struggled with asthma/bronchitis since I was a kid. It has always been a yearly thing(usually around the summer). This drug always help me clear out the issue. It does take around 4-5 days with the help of my asthma meds, too.. but nonetheless, really effective. Giving it an 8 mainly because I had tried zithromax before and it relieved symptoms in 2 days."
"Prescribed Amox-Clav after trying to fight off bronchitis by myself for 2 weeks. Given 875 mg/twice a day for 10 days. By day 3 I noticed a dramatic lessening of my coughing, clearing of my sinuses (which was unexpected). By day 5 my cough is almost completely gone. On day 5 my stools are very off -- almost nothing is produced and it's slimy in consistency. I will try probiotics to see if it helps. Note last night and the first day I took this I suddenly felt cold and started shaking for 15 minutes. I layered up immediately and felt fine after 10 minutes or so. I suspect being hungry triggered this. When I eat a bit of food just before the pill my stomach cramps are far less. I also recommend taking yogurt for diaherria."
"Treated for Bronchitis and sinus infection. Spent a week and a half with little to no sleep because of the horrific cough. When I fell asleep I'd wake up drenched then was freezing cold. When I blew my nose nasty bright yellow discharge would appear. I finally saw a doctor who prescribed me augmentin 875/125. I took one pill the first day and by the second day my cough was so much better. Got two more pills in before bed the second day and slept like a baby that second night. I could tell it was just knocking it all out of my system! Two more days left of the antibiotic and feeling near 100%!! Very happy with the results of this antibiotic!!!!!"
"I had pneumonia 2x in one year for the first time in my life (75 years old). Amoxicillin/Clavulanate was the only antibiotic that addressed my pneumonia, after trying other antibiotics. Now I have bronchitis, and have been living with an undiagnosed sinus infection for months. I started taking Amoxicilin/Clavulanate 6 Days ago and it seems to be taking care of my bronchitis and sinus infection. This has been the only antibiotic that has worked for me to treat pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinus infections! I am grateful!"
"I was on azithromycin for 12 days to break loose my deep chest congestion however my body becoming resistant to this drug. I spoke to my doctor, she set me up on amox-clav 875-125 mg. 1 tab every 12 hrs for 14 days. I'm on day 4 and I'm drying out. I feel it not so much in my chest as I do my overall body (sinus, and dry eyes). 10 more days to go. I think this get the job done."
"I have sinusitis and bronchitis at the same time. I have been in so much pain in my head and chest for the past 5 days so my doctor prescribed me amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets 875mg and 125mg. This medicine has caused dizziness, nausea, exhaustion, and weakness. "
"On 875 mg twice a day for bronchitis and sinus infection. I ate and took med with A LOT of water. Minimal stomach upset. Today is last day of med, feeling 80% better but tired. I was couch bound for 5 days prior to taking the med and was so sick I thought it was pneumonia."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "Worked like a charm. Have chronic bronchitis, and if I get a cold let’s say from my daughter. I will end up getting a sinus infection, that will turn into a upper respiratory infection that always turns into bronchitis. At two days this really started working. When I felt that I was going to get bronchitis I went to the dr. And was able to get this medication and start dosing the day before the most severe symptoms started, thankfully . Day 2 was horrible, but the antibiotics and this specifically effectively got rid of it. Eat with this antibiotics, and you should be good. Normal noticeable stomach feeling from this medicine."
Augmentin (amoxicillin / clavulanate) "After just 2 doses of planned 10 day 2x/day 875mg treatment got VIOLENTLY ILL, literally projectile vomited on brand new carpet as I couldn't get the 10 feet to toilet fast enough. Stopped medicine immediately but still had massive, continuous diarrhea for almost 3 weeks, lost 17 lbs in 14 days! It was so bad/went on so long the Dr actually tested me for Cdiff, which was negative. Will never, ever take this again!"
"It worked for my broncitus but gave me diarhea & yeast infection. I felt better in my chest, worse in my pants. I forgot the last time I was on amoxicillian I also had diarhea. Not taking it again, will ask for something else."
"I was prescribed 875mg bid.. It gave me strong side effects: heart skipping, dizziness and weakness. I reduced it to once a day to see if it would reduce any side effect. It did reduce some dizziness and weakness.. But my chest pain remains. I stopped taking it. I am going to see doctor to find out why my chest hurts."
"Was on 10 day 2x a day regime. Felt better, fever broke after 2 days, but cough never went away. About a week after finishing my symptoms came back full force and worse. Had to go back to the Dr and got a z pack, prednisone, and an inhaler. I've been sick for 3 weeks. This drug didn't get rid of my infection and I was very disappointed. Hoping the z pack works."
