I use to take augmentin, and I am a pilot and I didn't fly with it.

HOWEVER, I took it for terrible sinus infections and I wouldn't fly with those either.

YOU will have to check with your local medical authority. Sometimes augmentin can make you sleepy. But you are not a cockpit crew.

And our rules are different in the US.

So, read the information provided by the pharmacist and if it says the meds may make you sleepy, I wouldn't fly. They can also upset the stomach. And you don't need that either.
