Taking co-amoxiclav with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand name: Augmentin

Cautions with other medicines

There are some medicines that do not mix well with co-amoxiclav.

Tell your doctor if you're taking any of these medicines before you start taking co-amoxiclav:

  • allopurinol or probenecid, used to treat gout
  • warfarin, a medicine that helps to prevent blood clots
  • methotrexate, used to treat cancer or rheumatic diseases
  • mycophenolate mofetil, used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs

Mixing co-amoxiclav with herbal remedies or supplements

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with co-amoxiclav. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
