What Causes Vomiting After Taking Augmentin?

If I am allergic to Augmentin, does that mean I am also allergic to Penicillin? Two hours after taking one Augmentin pill, I started vomiting and 24 hrs later I was admitted to the hospital for three days. My eyes were swollen almost shut and purple and black, also my whites were blood red-all from vomiting! My blood pressure was very high - 200 something over 100 something. Once before this happened to me. I am highly allergic to Flaygl also. Thank you for answering my question, Brenda

Augmentin contains amoxicillin and cavulanate.Whenever a doctor prescribes antibiotic you have to tell the doctor that you are allergic to penicillin group and Flagyl.
