| Abstrakt: | The incidence of amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin) induced liver injury is relatively low when compared to other medications. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is one of the most frequently prescribed antibiotics by physicians and is used to treat various bacterial infections. However, amoxicillin/clavulanate can cause severe side effects, usually gastrointestinal like nausea and vomiting, rash, and sometimes hematologic like thrombocytopenia. Here, we present a case report where a 63-year-old male treated for a dog bite with amoxicillin/clavulanate acid four weeks ago presents to the hospital with severe cholestatic hepatitis, nausea, and pruritis.
