I have gone through your query.
Augmentin consists of amoxicillin 500mg and 125mg clavulonic acid. This is a beta lactam antibiotic given to eliminate the infection in pericornitis.
Usually augmentin is administered every 12 hours.
In cases when the infection is severe , it can be administered every 8 hours. Consult your physician if there are signs of diarrhoea.
Ponstan contains mefenamic acid which is a non-steroidal anti inflammatorydrug.
Ponstan 250mg can be safely taken t.i.d
hope this helps.
