Wombat140 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Been on co-amoxiclav (Augmentin) for four weeks, dose 750 mg of amoxicillin a day (= 1,125 mg total Augmentin), and tinidazole (forgotten how much). It isn't helping. Doctor is doubtful about increasing dose. Would like to know, if he won't increase the dose (I'm really hoping he will), would it be safe to take grapefruit seed extract alongside the antibiotics, and would it be at all to the point anyway? Or any other non-prescription stuff for that matter. Many thanks Wombat140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyD Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yes, you can take GSE alongside abx. My DD takes GSE 3x daily alongside Augmentin XR, Azith, and Tindamax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat140 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks Nancy. Anyone know if it'd have any chance of having the same effect as more Augmentin? (if can't get more Augmentin - obviously that'd be better!) I can't remember what I've seen it mentioned for on here, apart from C diff. If not, do you know anything that would? My mum thinks she remembers seeing some caveat about the safety of grapefruit seed extract some time or other, but I can't find any details if so. Does anyone remember any such thing?
