What Is The Treatment For The Inflammation Of Wisdom Teeth?
hello, I visited my dentist today, my wisdom teeth are coming up and my gums are inflamed, my dentist prescribed me augmentine 500/125mg and ponstan, do you think its ok to take 1 of each 3 times a day? I have taken 2 ponstan and would be afraid if taking augmentine would be too much? thank you
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.
