my partner has been prescribed augmentin 625mg he had a serious back injury several years ago which resulted in surgery. He went to the doctor 2 weeks ago complaining of more pain than usual and was prescribed augmentin, he is already taking oramorph and diazepam and citalopram, he is experiencing ?severre tiredness, headaches, itching and stomach irritation since he started taking them, should he stop taking them? and why these tablets for back pain?
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Augmenting is an antibiotic and is used to treat bacterial infections. If the doctor believed that the pain was related to an infection then he or she would have given the antibiotics for this reason. If you are not sure that he has an infection, it would be best to speak to the doctor to find out the reason for the medication. It should not be stopped unless you speak to his doctor first. I hope this helps
