Adverse Reactions
Co-amoxiclav potassium combination is generally well-tolerated. Adverse effects are uncommon and mainly of a mild and transitory nature. The most frequently reported adverse effects are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, abdominal pain, skin rashes, urticaria and erythema multiforme, vaginitis, abnormal taste, headache, dizziness, tiredness and hot flushes. The incidence and severity of adverse effects, particularly nausea and diarrhea, increased with the higher recommended dose and can be minimized by administering the agent at the start of a meal.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Angioneurotic edema, anaphylaxis, serum sickness-like syndrome and hypersensitivity vasculitis have been observed. Skin rashes pruritis and urticaria have been occasionally reported. Erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and less frequently bullous exfoliative dermatitis, toxic epidermal necrolysis and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) have been reported.
Gastrointestinal Reactions: Effects include gastritis stomatitis, glossitis, black hairy tongue and enterocolitis. Mucocutaneous candidiasis and antibiotic-associated colitis (including pseudomembranous and hemorrhagic colitis) have been reported. If gastrointestinal reactions are evident, they may be reduced by taking Auget at the start of a meal.
Hepatic Effects: Hepatitis and cholestatic jaundice have been reported. Hepatic events have been reported predominantly in males or elderly patients and may be associated with prolonged treatment. Signs and symptoms usually occur during or shortly after treatment, but in some cases may not become apparent until several weeks after treatment has ceased.
Hematologic Effects: Hemolytic anemia, reversible thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic purpura, eosinophilia, reversible leukopenia (including neutropenia or agranulocytosis) have been reported during therapy with penicillins. These reactions are usually reversible on discontinuation of therapy and are believed to be hypersensitivity phenomena. Prolongations of bleeding time and prothrombin time have also been reported less frequently.
