Hello and welcome to HCM,
Augmentin antibiotic is associated with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) upset.
It can cause gastric upset, diarrhea and vomiting.
Augmentin should be accompanied by lactobacillus preparation.
Antibiotics have a deleterious effect on the bacteria present in the gut.
Thus, addition of lactobacillus preparation will replace the gut and thus prevent diarhhea and vomiting.
Thanks and take care
