Product Details
- Name: Augmentin Tablet (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid)
- How It Works: It is a combination antibiotic tablet. Amoxicillin is the primary antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming cell walls. Clavulanic Acid protects the amoxicillin from being destroyed by bacterial enzymes, making the combined medication effective against a wider range of resistant bacteria.
- Form: Film-coated Tablets (common strengths are 375 mg, 625 mg, 1 g).
- Warning:
- This is a prescription-only medication and must only be used under a doctor’s supervision for the full duration prescribed to prevent antibiotic resistance.
- Allergy: Do not use if you have a history of severe allergic reactions (e.g., hives or difficulty breathing) to penicillin or cephalosporins.
- Side Effects: May cause diarrhea, nausea, or indigestion. Consult a doctor if you develop severe, watery, or bloody diarrhea.
- Administration: Tablets should be swallowed whole with water immediately before a meal to minimize potential stomach upset and maximize absorption.
