Asked by Female, 62 · 13 days ago

Yes, both Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) and Banocide Forte (diethylcarbamazine) can commonly cause nausea and headaches. To help manage these safely, try having her take her medications with a light meal, which can significantly ease stomach upset. Encourage her to rest in a quiet, cool room and drink plenty of fluids to help with the headache. While these symptoms are usually temporary, please consult her prescribing doctor if the nausea prevents her from keeping fluids down, the headache worsens, or if she develops any allergic signs like a rash.
