Brief Answer:
Augmentin is safe, if liver function tests are norm
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thanks for your query.
XXXX, augmentin in tablet form is safe, if liver function tests are normal.
Vomiting after taking augmentin tablet indicates liver functions are not normal, so I will suggest you discontinue augmentin and take an alternate immediately.
Usually augmentin ds syrup is prescribed in children between (5-10years)/amoxilline 250 mg is prescribed.
Nothing to get worried.
Hope this will be helpful.
Take Care.
