Product introduction
Augmentin 1000 Duo Tablet is an antibiotic that helps your body fight infections caused by bacteria. It is used to treat infections of the lungs (e.g., pneumonia), ear, nasal sinus, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue. It will not work for viral infections such as the common cold.
Augmentin 1000 Duo Tablet is best taken with a meal to reduce the chance of a stomach upset. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor.

The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete a full course of this antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it until you have finished, even when you feel better. If you stop taking it early, some bacteria may survive and the infection may come back or worsen.
The most common side effects of Augmentin 1000 Duo Tablet include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or will not go away.
Before taking it, let your doctor know if you are allergic to any antibiotics or have any kidney or liver problems.

The risks that are associated with self-medication include: Inaccurate diagnosis. Using inappropriate medications that cause side effects. Masking the symptoms of a serious condition. Delaying medical advice. Inaccurate dosage that leads to accidental overdoseYour Question is not clear to me . Please ask your question more clearly and in detail and also try be more specific and descriptive.It's important to remember that antibiotics only fight bacteria -- they do not fight infections caused by viruses. That means they won't work for colds, most sore throats and bronchitis and some ear infections. Yet, one in three antibiotic prescriptions in the U.S. are given to treat those conditions. The unnecessary doses are a potential health threat.
