Antibiotic side effects on liver, blood and urine test (URGETNT)

I'm suffering inflammation of the tonsils and taking now augmentin 1g (875mg amoxcillin + 125mg clavulanic acid). Also, i take some antiseptic and anti-inflammatory medication like bradoral 0.5 mg (domiphen bromide ). Also,  I take a syrup for common cold and influenza (dosage teaspoonful 5ml which contains 160mg paracetamol, 1mg chlorpheniramine maleate, 15mg pseudoephedrine HCI, and 4.5mg dextromethorphan HBr).

I'm going into some special urgent medical examination for a new job:

1- Liver test (Hepatitis B and C)
2- General blood test (Biochemical analysis)
3- Urine test

Would my antibiotic (augmentin 1g) and the above medication affect the results of the above tests? and if so, after how long should i go to these tests whenver i stop my medication?

Thank you

I don't know if I specifically understand the nature of your question but antibiotics are not going to effect screening tests for hepatitis B & C.  They may slightly elevate liver enzymes but that would happen whether you had hepatitis or not.  As with any pre-screening medical tests for employment they always ask what medications you are currently taking.  I don't see why it would be necessary to wait until you have stopped the medications to be tested.  Even if your cough syrup contained a narcotic, as long as it was prescribed there is no problem.
