Amoxicillin 500 mg + Clavulanic acid 100 mg (as potassium clavulanate) per vial (for IV injection/infusion)
Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis), ENT infections (sinusitis, otitis media), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, intra-abdominal infections, bone and joint infections, and gynecological infections; used when parenteral therapy is required.
Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, thereby protecting amoxicillin and extending its antibacterial spectrum.
For IV use only. Reconstitute the vial with sterile water for injection as directed and administer by slow IV injection or IV infusion. Dose and duration depend on infection severity, kidney function and patient age/weight; use at evenly spaced intervals. May be given irrespective of food (parenteral).
Common side effects of AUGPEN I.V 600MG INJ may include:
Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to penicillins/cephalosporins or history of severe allergic reactions. Do not use if there is a history of amoxicillin/clavulanate–associated cholestatic jaundice/hepatic dysfunction. Use with caution in liver disease; monitor liver function in prolonged therapy. Dose adjustment may be needed in renal impairment. Risk of severe skin reactions and antibiotic-associated colitis (seek care if severe/persistent diarrhea). Use only for suspected/confirmed bacterial infections to reduce resistance.
