Patients may submit an existing Augmentin prescription, request a transfer from another pharmacy or select an available $20 online medical consultation with Cody R.

What Augmentin Treats and When It Is Prescribed
Augmentin is a penicillin-class antibacterial combined with a beta-lactamase inhibitor. FDA labeling includes lower respiratory tract infections, acute bacterial otitis media, sinusitis, skin and skin-structure infections, and urinary tract infections caused by susceptible organisms described in the prescribing information.
Augmentin does not treat colds, influenza or other viral infections. A clinician should evaluate the symptoms and select an antibiotic only when a bacterial infection is proven or strongly suspected, because unnecessary use exposes the patient to adverse effects and contributes to antimicrobial resistance.
The combination is different from amoxicillin alone: clavulanate inhibits certain beta-lactamase enzymes that can inactivate amoxicillin. That difference does not mean Augmentin is automatically the best antibiotic for every infection; culture results, likely organisms, allergy history, recent antibiotic use, infection site and local resistance patterns may affect the choice.
Augmentin 875/125 mg, 500/125 mg and 250/125 mg Dosage Information
The two numbers in an Augmentin strength represent the amount of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in each tablet. The prescriber determines the dose and duration according to the infection, severity, kidney function, age and other patient-specific factors.
| Tablet strength | Label-based adult use | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| 250 mg/125 mg | The label describes one tablet every 8 hours for certain less severe infections | Two 250 mg tablets must not replace one 500 mg tablet because this doubles the clavulanate amount |
| 500 mg/125 mg | The label describes one tablet every 12 hours for usual adult dosing or every 8 hours for more severe infections | The schedule must follow the prescription and should not be changed to reduce the number of daily doses |
| 875 mg/125 mg | The label describes one tablet every 12 hours for more severe infections and respiratory tract infections | The 875 mg tablet is not recommended when glomerular filtration rate is below 30 mL/min |
A patient prescribed Augmentin 875/125 mg should not split the regimen, substitute a different strength or combine tablets without instructions from the prescriber or dispensing pharmacist. Tablet and chewable formulations with similar-looking strength names may contain different amounts of clavulanate and are not necessarily interchangeable.
Brand Augmentin and Generic Amoxicillin-Clavulanate
Augmentin is the reference brand. An FDA-approved generic Augmentin product contains amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium in an approved finished dosage form, but its manufacturer, tablet appearance, inactive ingredients, package and NDC may differ from the brand product.
Brand availability and generic substitution depend on the prescription, applicable law and the product stocked by the assigned pharmacy. The pharmacy identifies the exact finished drug before dispensing and contacts the prescriber when authorization or clarification is required.
The displayed amoxicillin clavulanate price is not a guarantee that a particular brand, manufacturer or package is in stock. Patients should evaluate the final product and total prescribed quantity presented through the order process rather than selecting a larger supply solely for a lower per-tablet amount.
How to Take Augmentin and Complete the Prescribed Course
Augmentin should be taken exactly as prescribed and at evenly spaced times. Taking it at the start of a meal improves clavulanate absorption and may reduce gastrointestinal intolerance. A missed dose should not be doubled; patients should follow the supplied medication instructions or ask the dispensing pharmacist what to do.
Continue treatment for the full prescribed duration even if symptoms begin to improve, unless the prescriber tells you to stop because of a reaction or another clinical reason. Do not share antibiotics, save tablets for a future illness or use a previous prescription to treat new symptoms.
Contact the prescriber if symptoms do not begin to improve during the first few days, become worse or return after treatment. A new examination, culture or different therapy may be needed, and taking additional antibiotics without evaluation can delay appropriate care.
Augmentin Side Effects, Penicillin Allergy and Drug Interactions
Common adverse effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and rash. Tell the prescriber and pharmacist about previous reactions to penicillins or cephalosporins, liver disease, kidney impairment, current medicines and supplements before starting treatment.
Do not take Augmentin after a serious hypersensitivity reaction to a beta-lactam antibiotic or after Augmentin-associated cholestatic jaundice or hepatic dysfunction; seek immediate medical help for trouble breathing, facial or throat swelling, a severe rash, fainting or other signs of a serious reaction. Probenecid is generally not recommended with Augmentin, and oral anticoagulants may require closer monitoring because altered clotting measurements have been reported.
- Call a healthcare professional promptly for severe or persistent diarrhea, watery or bloody stools, stomach cramps or fever during treatment or after the antibiotic has been stopped.
- Seek medical advice for yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, unusual fatigue or upper abdominal pain because liver injury can occur during treatment or after it ends.
- Stop using the medication and obtain urgent care for a severe skin reaction, breathing difficulty, swelling or rapidly worsening symptoms.

An online consultation does not guarantee that Augmentin or another antibiotic will be prescribed. Some symptoms require an in-person examination, laboratory testing, imaging, drainage or emergency care rather than an online antibiotic request.
