Dear Ask The Doctor: How safe is it to continue with augmentin 625 3x per day after 7 weeks? This is to treat my cellulitis which is very stubborn. Is a different form of treatment indicated here. Thank you very much. Mark
Dear Mark: Augment is effective in controlling the infection within 4-7 days of taking the drug. I would not advise long term usage of augmentin due to the development of resistance to the drug. You may need to see your doctor for an alternative treatment regime and maybe even IV antibiotics if indicated. |
