Augmentin XR Reviews
For Skin and Structure Infection "Had a cat bite me on my hand... full set of teeth and sharp. Hand swelled and was red. Took Augmentin 8 hours after being bitten, and within 3 days, swelling went down and redness had faded. 6 years as an animal control officer and never injured once... helped my friend pick out a cat at the local humane society and got bitten... oh, the irony! This is excellent medicine for cat bites. Had a friend tell me her dad got bitten by a cat, and he ended up in the hospital and was gravely ill from an infection. Lucky me, from my experience I knew to seek medical attention immediately. Anyone bitten by a cat should know they have about an 85% chance of infection and need to take it very seriously or you'll end up in the hospital."
For Sinusitis "Have frequent sinus infections & have been prescribed Augmentin XR whenever I have a severe sinus infection for about the past 17 years now. It always has done the job & taken care of the infection. The only downside is the GI side effects (i.e. stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc)."
For Sinusitis "In the past 3-4yrs, I’ve had reoccurring sinus infections I’ve taken Augmentin XR years ago, for several years w/no side-effects aside from fatigue. This year, I was prescribed keflex a lot & it was so much better, no issues. I’ve had sinus infect 11/23, &Dr prescribed Augmentin XR but side effects are so bad! From, g.I. issues and mentally feeling off. Depression, anxiety severe, by 11/26 I can’t leave house. No focus & I have to go to clinic, I’m miserable & just want keflex!"
For Sinusitis "Killed the sinus infection in about a day. I have had chronic sinusitis for 15 years, and this is my go-to medicine."
