iam taking the meds for cellulitus. the only thing that I did not like about the meds it that it made me have horriable gas!! It also made my urnine and bowel movements smell like penicillian. I don't think I would want to be on these meds again. I am currently taking them for ten days

diarrhea!! worst ever. took weeks to recover from taking this med - will never take it again!

The Augmentin XR SR 12 HR TAB GLAXO SK has worked fine, & I am on day 2 of the 10 days. I have not had any problems as the ones mentioned before and plus I am getting so much better as we speak.

I was prescribed 1000mg x 4 times a day. The pills are so big that i had to break them apart even though they are not supposed to. So in turn i had a rash and it made my urine smell terrible. Now 10 days later i am still sick and on a different antibiotic and still have pneumonia.

IO was on a 10 day regiment for this med for a sinus infection, a ear infection and a Throat infection.. on day 4 my tongue and gums swelled up and is very sore and discolored. Called my doc and was told to stop taking immediately. It did help the infections but the side effects I experienced are still very sore, and its been 4 days... It's NOT worth it. Besides this drug has so many side effects! I guess I'm lucky, even though I can barely eat.

From taking the first pill to now day 4, I have a terrible stomachache. I also have a pounding headache that has worsened on the antibiotic. My cough has improved but overall I feel worse since starting the treatment for my sinus infection.

This is the third antibiotic I have tried in the past month to help with cellulitis and infection caused by an ingrown toenail. It did cure the infection and I had no side effects until today. I took my last pill this morning. I was looking in the mirror and noticed that my teeth are brown and yellow and discolored. This literally happened overnight, so I was shocked. I did some research and apparently this is a rare side effect. It usually happens in children, but I'm an adult. I will be going to the dentist soon anyway and hope this is not permanent.

I took this medication for a couple of days then started experiencing sore, painful muscles in my upper body. the longer I took it, the worse it became. By 4 days in, the soreness was worsening and spreading to lower muscles. My doctor took me off of it right away, saying he thought it was a reaction to the augmentin. The pain and soreness faded within a day or so but took at least 5 to go away completely. I have never had problems with penicillins (including amoxicillin). This seemed like such a strange reaction to me, but my doc had no other explanation for it. He said I should avoid all penicillins now. I have searched but have found no one else who has had this reaction, but I wanted to note it here because it sure scared the heck out of me!

Within a day or two my sinus infection subsided, but after 8 days on the medication (10 are required) I'm feeling irritation in my throat and mouth that I can only attribute to the medication. I don't see anything in the side affects that describe what I'm experiencing accurately. It's not too uncomfortable but it has me cautious. Loose stools and mild diarrhea have also been present, but not to the extreme. If this takes care of my sinusitis for a while, then I'll consider it worth the slight discomfort.
