Question

ok so at like 5:00 i had like maybe a half a glass of wine. its 9:00 now and i need to take medicine. i want to know if its safe to take it yet? its 875mg of augmentin.

Answer 1

If you have normal liver function, the answer is absolutely yes. You will have metabolized the alcohol in that half-glass within two hours, and anything else that would interfere with your meds.

Answer 2

You can potentially take augmentin with wine, but be aware that it may increase you chance of stomach discomfort.  With half a glass of wine, after 4 hours, it should not make muc of a difference.  With other medications and/or with less time between the two, take more caution and ask your doctor.
