It's generally recommended to take Augmentin with food. Taking it on an empty stomach can increase the risk of stomach upset.
Here are some reasons why:
- Stomach irritation: Augmentin can irritate the stomach lining, and taking it on an empty stomach can worsen this effect.
- Absorption: Food can sometimes help with the absorption of certain medications, including Augmentin.
If you have any concerns about taking Augmentin, it's best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
