Resident Medico's, how much stomach upset should one expect from Augmentin Duo. Currently on day 4 of 1 tablet twice daily for 5 days

Just booked my hotel in Abu Dhabi then saw this on the description:

"The hotel provide convenience facilities such as rooftop swimming poo with airport views..."

the Crowne Plaza at Yas can often be had for free using the best rate guarantee.

Piece of string question.

From none to nausea and queasy-ness. If you're vomiting a lot I'd probably get it changed as absorption may be limited. But at day 4 you're almost done.

Most of our family has had nasty reactions to Augmentin. From headaches to nausea/tummy issues. Which resolved almost immediately a replacement antibiotic was used.

Am currently watching television in Chicago and am so glad Australia basically forbids advertising medicine.

I have seen advertisements for conditions I doubt I could even mention here! The list of potential side effects should put people off but I guess the drug companies reckon they're covered and the money is too good to really care.

 

[moa999]

Agreed. It is quite scary discovering all these conditions that you could possibly have

 

[bass_ke]

Thanks folks. I'm not vomiting but quite nauseous at tknrs, I've never had it before so wasn't certain what I was up for!

Its hard to tell between side effects of meds and symptoms of illness, bravo medical folk for getting it right!

I burst out laughing in the exec lounge due to one of the ads. Got talking to a gentleman who was surprised we don't get the same ads.

continuing on the poo/pool thread. Diarrhoea very common with augmentin..go dairy free and that will help abit with the nausea as well.

I am in the States and had never considered that other countries don't do the same ads. My favorite are the ones with the side effects that are exactly the same thing as the illness.:mrgreen:

Or worse in some cases.

The ad about menopausal women has way too much detail both about the issue to be treated and the potential side effects.

Yeah, I was being polite. My REAL favorite are the ones for cough. Hilarious!!!:shock:

Eating my last hot cross bun for brunch/lunch today.

I bought (and froze) a pack before I went to Tokyo at Easter. Shows how often I eat at home

You really know how to kick up your heels don't you mate?

Pure luxury... Although I think the mistake was buying them in the first place

That may or may not be the one that caused me to laugh

I believe you.Saw it in Swindon for a minute.

So you must have had a session at the shopping outlet by now?

That is because the side effects as designated by governments must be all the symptoms you have whilst taking a drug hence the symptoms of the illness are included.Ever wonder why some antibiotics have side effects like respiratory tract infection.

So you must have had a session at the shopping outlet by now?

Yes but no where near as good as those in the USA.
And today in Luton there is this funny blue stuff above our heads!
