Consult your doctor for precise dosage instructions. Treatment depends on the abscess size, severity, and your overall health. A common regimen involves taking Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) orally.
Typical dosages range from 500mg to 875mg, taken twice daily with food. This is often prescribed for 7 to 10 days, but your doctor might adjust the duration depending on your response to treatment.
| Augmentin Tablets (500mg/125mg) | One tablet twice daily | Twice Daily | 7-10 days |
| Augmentin Tablets (875mg/125mg) | One tablet twice daily | Twice Daily | 7-10 days |
Always follow the prescribed dosage and complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you feel better before the medication is finished. Stopping early can lead to recurrent infection. If you experience allergic reactions like rash or difficulty breathing, immediately stop taking Augmentin and seek medical help.
For severe abscesses requiring drainage, your doctor may prescribe a higher dose or different antibiotic. Oral Augmentin might be combined with incision and drainage for optimal results.
