Description
Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid (Clavulanate) is a penicillin-type of antibiotic that helps your body fight infections caused by bacteria. It is used to treat infections of the lungs (e.g., pneumonia), ear, nasal sinus, urinary tract, skin and soft tissue. It will not work for viral infections such as the common cold. Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid (Clavulanate) is best taken with a meal to reduce the chance of a stomach upset. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. Taking it at the same time every day will help you to remember to take it. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete a full course of this antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it until you have finished, even when you feel better. If you stop taking it early, some bacteria may survive and the infection may come back or worsen. The most common side effects of this medicine include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or will not go away. Before taking it, let your doctor know if you are allergic to any antibiotics or have any kidney or liver problems. You should also let your healthcare team know about all other medicines you are taking as they may affect, or be affected by, this medicine. This medicine is generally regarded as safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding if prescribed by a doctor. Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid (Clavulanate) is a combination of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid. Amoxycillin is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Clavulanic Acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Amoxycillin against bacteria.
Indications
• Bacterial infections
Mechanism of action
Take with meals to avoid GI upset Take suspension at start of meal to enhance absorption Reconstitution: Powd for inj: Dissolve amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 500/100 mg in 10 mL solvent and 1,000/200 mg in 20 mL solvent. May further dilute to infusion soln containing either water for inj or NaCl 0.9%.
Dosage
Adult Dose: History of allergy especially to cephalosporins, infectious mononucleosis, severe renal impairment. Lactation: Drug excreted in breast milk; use caution Renal Dose: Clavulanic acid has a high affinity for and binds to certain ?-lactamases that generally inactivate amoxicillin by hydrolyzing its ?-lactam ring. Combining clavulanate potassium with amoxicillin extends the antibacterial spectrum of amoxicillin to include many bacteria normally resistant to amoxicillin and other penicillins and cephalosporins.
