Vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea appear to be the most common side effects of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. Since the antibiotic was never compared to a placebo, however, it is difficult to determine whether these side effects were actually caused by other conditions or amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. Side effects that may require medical attention include severe diarrhea, yeast infections, and allergic reactions. Side Effects of Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium: As with any medicine, side effects are possible with amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium (Augmentin®); however, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, in which it was compared to the two components used individually. Because these studies did not compare Amoxcilin with Potassium Clavulanate to a placebo (a solution with no active ingredient), it is difficult to tell whether side effects were actually caused by the medications, the condition being treated, or other problems. In these studies, the most common side effects of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium included: * Diarrhea or loose stools -- in up to 9 percent of people * Nausea -- up to 3 percent * Vomiting -- up to 1 percent.

Hematologic side effects associated with penicillins have included thrombocytopenia, anemia, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, eosinophilia, agranulocytosis, and leukopenia. These are believed to be due to hypersensitivity and are usually reversible when the drug is discontinued. Mild to moderate thrombocytosis has been reported in less than 1% of patients treated with amoxicillin-clavulanate and 3.6% of patients treated with the extended-release tablets. Purpura, pancytopenia, granulocytopenia, medullary aplasia, prolongation of prothrombin time, and transient neutropenia have also been reported. Amoxicillin has been shown to induce hemolytic anemia in rare cases. A case of bone marrow "maturation arrest" resulting in neutropenia and of Henoch-Schonlein purpura syndrome has been associated with amoxicillin-clavulanate.
