    I’m on augmentin 1 tablet 3 times a day for 7 days.
    The only thing I could suggest some of you may be on different antibitiocs if you’ve had under or over muscle (this is just a guess) as under is slightly more disruptive.
    And also if you have an allergy to penicillin you wouldn’t be on augmnetin, you’ve be on a different antibitic.
    And also, maybe surgeons preference.
    It should tell you on the box of antibiotics the instructions of how many to take and how many day it will last for,
    If not sure, maybe speak to your nurse ????
