Has anyone heard of this combo of antibiotics? Aug and amox?

Subject: Has anyone heard of this combo of antibiotics? Aug and amox?

The physician says, "discontinue Bactrim" (it wasn't working) "and start Augmentin 500 mg plus amoxicillin 500 mg, making 1 gram of oxacillin, one p.o. t.i.d. for two weeks."


I looked up oxacillin to try to get the ingredients but it didn't help - can anyone tell me if this sounds right?

antibiotics for dental exams and dental work
Subject: antibiotics for dental exams and dental work

This is SBE prophylaxis (subacute bacterial endocarditis) which is given to patients with heart valve disease.  When dental work is done, this causes the bacteria from the mouth to go into the system and can cause vegetation on one or more of the heart valves....which is a very serious and possibly life-threatening situation.  Most surgeries require this be done before the procedure, even certain nonsurgical procedures that may be less invasive, require it as well.  However, the guidelines are less stringent than they were previously.  Hope this helps.
