I finished taking Percin (Prulifloxacin) 3 days ago, and now my doctor has prescribed Augmed 625 (Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid). Can I start this new antibiotic, and will there be any side effects?
If Augmentin 625 (Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid) is prescribed shortly after completing Percin (Prulifloxacin 600 mg), it may be a medically appropriate switch based on updated findings such as culture results or poor response to the initial antibiotic, and while this transition is generally safe under medical supervision, mild side effects like stomach upset may occur. However, if Percin was taken without a doctor’s guidance and not disclosed during consultation, it could lead to inappropriate treatment, increased risk of side effects or resistance, and reduced effectiveness, because current medical reports may show the present condition but not recent antibiotic exposure, making full disclosure of all medications essential for safe and effective care.
