I know they're both different types of antibiotics, but they both almost have the same exact side effects. Would this mean that if I handled the Augmentin fine, would I in turn handle the Cephexalin as well? The better question is compared to each other, which one would be easier on my stomach? I ask so I'd have better peace of mind. Thank you!

Augmentin is Amoxil, and Clavulanate.
Cephalexin is a Cephalosporin.
Both are hard on the stomach, and if you handled Augmentin fine, it doesn't necessarily mean you would handle Cefalexin well. Consult with your doctor before starting any new medication, as you may be allergic, there may be a drug/drug interaction, drug/food interaction, and may need counseling before hand.
