    The title says it all really...
    I got a prescription for Augmentin but the pharmacy didn't have it and gave me Pinaclav instead.
    I did query the pharmacist but I'm almost 9 months pregnant and just want to be double sure that Pinaclav is the same as Augmentin before I take it.
    Thanks.

    They both contain co-amoxiclav, which is sold under the brand names Augmentin and Pinaclav.

    A quick question, which I pose as a 'thought provoker' rather than looking for an answer:

    You say you asked the pharmacist who told you that they're the same thing. You KNOW about the bona fides of the person you spoke to there - they're a registered pharmacist in a registered pharmacy.

    Yet you don't believe them.

    So you came here to ask the same question: will you believe anyone who might answer?

    If the answer is 'Yes', my question is: Why?

    Vorsprung has answered. I can confirm that his answer is correct. But you don't know anything about who either of us is.

    Why disbelieve a person that you know is a pharmacist, but believe randomers on the 'net?

    Hope you get well soon.
