Best Answer

Yes, there is no drug interaction between the two medicines. However, if you are fighting a bacterial infection that is the reason for the Augmentin, then you would want to wait until the more severe symptoms of that infection are gone, such as high fever. These symptoms indicate that your immune system is still in battle with the bacteria and waiting until the fever is down to under 101, will make it so your immune system doesn't have to deal with more than one micro-organism at a time.

Can you get a flu shot while taking methadone?

I am not a physician, but I can say that methadone and the flu shot affect entirely different bodily systems, so that it is unlikely that there would be any adverse interaction. However, if you have concern, you must mention this at the time you go for a flu shot. If there is a problem, the person giving the shots will be able to tell you.


Is the Swine Flu shot really a shot?

They don't shoot you, and it isn't a 'shot' of a drink, it's a needle in the arm. In the 2009-2010 flu season there was a mist as well as a shot for the vaccination for swine flu. In the 2010-2011 flu season the vaccine for swine flu protection is included in the one vaccination for the seasonal flu.
