Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Amoxicillin clavulanate is another name for Augmentin. It has same chemical composition and effects.
The pills you have are probably made by a different manufacturer and the packaging is for commercial reasons (2 on one side and 3 on the other).
Nothing to worry.
Hope this helps,
Dr Anjana Rao
