Who diagnosed hep and said it was the Augmentin?
All last week her blood pressure was sky high. On Fri. I picked her up to go to the Cardiologist. She was so yellow I couldn't belive it. She was totaly exausted and was also itching. When the doctor saw her he said I have to put you in the hospital. She was in there for 6 days. The MD and the Gastro doctor at the hospital decided that she had drug induced hepatitis from the Augmentin. She didn't test positive for Hep. A,B or C. Her yellow has faded a little. She is so tired she can barely move. Her blood pressure is a bit better and also her tempature. They have her on a drug to heal the liver called Actigal.
thanks for your reply,
