Serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions, liver problems, or severe diarrhoea may occur rarely. Stop use and seek medical help if you experience signs of an allergic reaction or other severe symptoms.

Important cautions

Do not use this medicine if you have had a serious allergic reaction to any penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotic, or if you have ever had liver problems after taking amoxicillin or clavulanate. Stop use and consult a doctor if you develop a rash, yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe watery diarrhoea. Caution is also needed in patients with mononucleosis due to increased risk of rash.
