Irene, my doctor just prescribed me Augmentin 875mg twice a day for 10 days for haemophilus parainfluenzae. I have never taken it before, should I be concern about anything? I'm very cautious with antibiotics and that's why I'm asking. Also, I'm interested in Korean Ginseng, what is that? a capsule or tea may I ask.

Hello, I also share your concerns with antibiotics. I actually did ok on the Augmentin that I took a few years ago. But because I took it for 4 weeks, I started to have reduced urine output in the 4th week. He had wanted me to do 6 weeks but I had to quit at 4 due to the urinary issue. If you do not have bladder or kidney issues and you are only taking it for 10 days it should be ok God willing! Be sure to take with meals. It also gave me insomnia some nights but not all nights. Whatever I had back then it cleared up and I was VERY sick. I think my friend took capsules of Korean Ginseng but do not take that at the same time as the Augmentin! One good thing to do is try to find information online as to what vitamins or minerals you should not take and which ones you need to replenish with any given antibiotic. Also I took 3 Natren pro biotics while on the Augmentin at a different time of day.
