don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Augmentin is a antibiotic. If by mistake it is taken before scheduled time then it won't cause any major harm to your body.

You may feel some acidity or one or 2 episodes of loose motion. Nothing more than that. I would advice you to skip your regular dose which will be in night. And from tomorrow take your dose regularly.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
