Product Details
- Name: Fleming 228.5 (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid)
- How It Works: This is a combination antibiotic suspension. The Amoxicillin component kills the bacteria. The Clavulanic Acid protects the amoxicillin from being destroyed by bacterial enzymes, making the combined medication effective against a wider range of resistant bacteria. The ‘228.5’ refers to the specific pediatric strength concentration (e.g., 200mg Amoxicillin / 28.5mg Clavulanic Acid per 5ml).
- Form: Powder for Oral Suspension (must be mixed with water to make a liquid syrup before use).
- Warning:
- This is a prescription-only medication and must be used as directed by a pediatrician.
- Allergy: Do not use if the child has a history of severe allergic reactions to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.
- Storage: The liquid suspension must be stored in the refrigerator after mixing and is only stable for 7 to 10 days (check label for exact timeframe).
- Complete the Course: Ensure the full course is completed to prevent antibiotic resistance and ensure the infection is fully cleared.
