Common effects of Amoxiclav may include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Some users may also experience skin rashes or allergic reactions. These effects can vary from person to person and are not experienced by everyone who takes the medication.

Amoxiclav should be used with caution in individuals with a history of allergic reactions to penicillin antibiotics. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medical conditions or medications you are taking before starting Amoxiclav.
