For Skin and Structure Infection "Had a cat bite me on my hand... full set of teeth and sharp. Hand swelled and was red. Took Augmentin 8 hours after being bitten, and within 3 days, swelling went down and redness had faded. 6 years as an animal control officer and never injured once... helped my friend pick out a cat at the local humane society and got bitten... oh, the irony! This is excellent medicine for cat bites. Had a friend tell me her dad got bitten by a cat, and he ended up in the hospital and was gravely ill from an infection. Lucky me, from my experience I knew to seek medical attention immediately. Anyone bitten by a cat should know they have about an 85% chance of infection and need to take it very seriously or you'll end up in the hospital."

For Sinusitis "Have frequent sinus infections and have been prescribed Augmentin XR whenever I have a severe sinus infection for about the past 17 years now. It always has done the job and taken care of the infection. The only downside is the GI side effects (i.e., stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc.)."

For Sinusitis "In the past 3-4 years, I’ve had reoccurring sinus infections. I’ve taken Augmentin XR years ago, for several years with no side effects aside from fatigue. This year, I was prescribed Keflex a lot, and it was so much better, no issues. I’ve had a sinus infection on 11/23, and the doctor prescribed Augmentin XR, but the side effects are so bad! From gastrointestinal issues and mentally feeling off. Depression, anxiety severe, by 11/26 I can’t leave the house. No focus, and I have to go to the clinic, I’m miserable and just want Keflex!"

For Sinusitis "Killed the sinus infection in about a day. I have had chronic sinusitis for 15 years, and this is my go-to medicine."
