Buy Augmentin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acidBuy Augmentin to treat infections of the respiratory tract (including sinusitis, otitis media, recurrent tonsillitis, bronchitis and pneumonia), genitals, urinary tract, abdominal region, skin and soft tissue, and dental region. Augmentin is a penicillin antibiotic, taken orally, usually every twelve hours with food (ideally low in fat) for as long as your infection requires.
Contraindications: If you are allergic to penicillin or other antibiotics, consult your doctor before taking Augmentin. Augmentin can alter the growth of flora in the colon, possibly promoting C difficile and causing or exacerbating pseudomembranous colitis. Gout medications such as Benuryl (probenecid) can prevent the elimination of Augmentin, causing toxic buildups of antibiotics in the blood. Augmentin can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills.
