Before using Augmentin tablets (a combination of Amoxicillin and Clavulanate potassium) please inform your doctor all the medicines that you take including no prescription medications, over the counter medicines and herbal remedies. Below are mentioned the precautions to be taken before initiating therapy with Augmentin tablets:- Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactoid) reactions have been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. There have been reports of individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity who have experienced severe reactions when treated with cephalosporins. Before initiating therapy with any penicillin, careful inquiry should be made concerning previous hypersensitivity reactions to penicillins, cephalosporins, or other allergens.
- If an allergic reaction occurs, Augmentin tablets should be discontinued and the appropriate therapy instituted.
- Antibiotic associated pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with many antibiotics including amoxycillin. A toxin produced with Clostridium difficile appears to be the primary cause. In moderate to severe cases appropriate therapy with a suitable oral antibiotic agent effective against Clostridium difficile should be considered.
- Periodic assessment of organ system functions, including renal, hepatic and hematopoietic function is advisable during prolonged therapy.
- Since Augmentin contains amoxycillin, an aminopenicillin, it is not the treatment of choice in patients presenting with sore throat or pharyngitis because of the possibility that the underlying cause is infectious mononucleosis.
- The possibility of superinfections with mycotic or bacterial pathogens should be kept in mind during therapy. If superinfections occur the drug should be discontinued and/or appropriate therapy instituted.
- Cholestatic hepatitis, which may be severe but is usually reversible has been reported. Signs and symptoms may not become apparent until several weeks after treatment has ceased. In most cases resolution has occurred with time.
