"I have an active pilonidal cyst. For those not familiar with this condition, it is extremely painful. It involves a massive infection. I have been treated with Augmentin XR for 11 days so far. After about 8 days, I could feel a noticeable improvement. It works great, however, it is rather rough on your digestive system."

"My neighbor's cat scratched and bit me. At first, I thought I sprained my wrist doing something, but when my wrist was red like a lobster, swelling in pain and pus draining from the bite, I knew it was due to the cat bite. Went to the ER, they said I had cellulitis. They gave me an IV of this, then prescribed it for ten days. Started to work immediately. I had mild diarrhea for the first three days, felt nauseous and very groggy, trouble thinking clearly. I still have dark urine, but my wrist is just about completely healed. I'm on day six, four more days to go. Then I'm done. Regular amoxicillin made me feel weird but didn't give me much side effects, however, I was prescribed amoxicillin for abscessed teeth."

"Took Augmentin for a bacterial infection in my foot. This is rough stuff. During the 10-day cycle, although it cleared up the infection in my foot, I had begun to develop headaches, felt weak and tired, sleeplessness, and some stomach discomfort. It works well if you can endure all the side effects. Would not recommend if other options are available."

"I took this for an ear infection, it worked well. One of the side effects was it cured me of my cystic acne. I was about to give up after my dermatologist tried four different antibiotics. Two months out, and my acne is gone. I went from having penny and quarter spots on my head to nothing. My testosterone injections bring my flare-ups out, now I can take a normal dose without even a hint of acne. Amazing!!"

"My cat bit my ankle in 5 places. Out of hours, the GP gave me Augmentin 500/125mg to take 3 times a day. The first 7 days were fine apart from urinating, diarrhoea had to force-feed myself as no appetite. After 7 days, the nurse came for the 2nd time, one of the bites was fine, the others were raring to go. It gave me cellulitis. My leg was red, black, swollen, plus my neck. So the GP gave me another 7 days' worth. (Had a 2-day break). Bad diarrhoea/accidents, lying in bed being sick, high fever, migraines, feeling so ill. Perspiring, tight chest, palpitations, itchy vagina, became very depressed. I was in a foul mood, memory loss, and acid reflux. I thought I had septicaemia. Therefore, I only took 3 days of the new pack. By Monday, I felt great apart from another bite that came up. The nurse dressed it, and the GP put me on Flucloxacillin 500mg, and so far, so good. Please note these pills are awful. Trying to force food down when you feel so very ill is terrible. Glad it worked for the first week (with slight of the above side effects). I’d rather give birth!!"
