What Causes Diarrhea After Taking Augmentin For Bronchitis?
Hi I have been diagnosed with Bronchitis. My doctor gave me Augmentin tablets to drink 3 daily one with each meal. Since seeing the doctor I have had 5 dosages and had diarrhea 4 times and feeling nauseous. Will it be better to have 2 dosages daily rather than 3? Thank you Mia

Hello Mia
Welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* The GI disturbances as nausea, vomiting, alterations in stool
consistency, frequency are well known side effects of the Augmentin
medicine.
* Though the episode usually resolve after dis continuation of the
medication is of paramount importance ; but rather supportive facts
and files with oral rehydration salt,probiotics with lacto bacillus will
help a great level.
Thank you.
Regards.
