Common side effects

Important cautions
Do not take OXYNIC if you have ever had a serious allergic reaction (such as anaphylaxis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome) to amoxicillin, clavulanate, or other beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillins or cephalosporins. Also avoid it if you have had liver problems or jaundice with amoxicillin/clavulanate before. Stop taking and seek medical help if you develop signs of an allergic reaction, severe skin rash, yellowing of the eyes or skin (liver problems), or severe diarrhoea. Patients with mononucleosis may develop a widespread rash.
