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.”

For Sinusitis “Have frequent sinus infections & 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 & taken care of the infection. The only downside is the GI side effects (i.e. stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc).”

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…help my friend pick out a cat at the local humane society and get bitten…oh the irony! This is an 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 almost died 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 hospital.”
