While taking levofloxacin and Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) together is generally not recommended because it can increase the risk of side effects like stomach upset, a single combined dose is highly unlikely to cause you severe harm. Please avoid taking any further doses of these two medications together. I gently advise you to contact your prescribing doctor or a pharmacist right away to clarify which antibiotic you should continue taking.

Is it safe to take Augmentin and levofloxacin together at the same time after dinner to treat my urinary tract and tooth problems?

While you want quick relief, it is generally not recommended to take Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) and levofloxacin together without direct supervision from your doctor. Combining these two strong antibiotics can increase the risk of side effects, such as severe stomach upset. Sometimes, one of these antibiotics can actually treat both infections, or they may need to be carefully spaced out. Please contact your doctor or dentist to confirm the safest way to take your medication.
