Is Augmentin Advisable For Severe Sinus Infection?
I have CVID and GLILD that had been treated with Rituxan. I had a severe inflammatory reaction. Now I am on 50mg of prednisone and 15 mg of methotrexate weekly. I saw Pulmonology today and ordered Augmentin. My pharmacist is hesitant to fill it. I have a normal WBC, and a severe sinus infection. What is the risk?
