Augpen Es Suspension

Suspension

Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as acute otitis media, acute bacterial sinusitis, tonsillitis/pharyngitis, community-acquired pneumonia/bronchitis, skin and soft tissue infections, and urinary tract infections.

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from enzymatic breakdown, extending its antibacterial spectrum.

Oral suspension: Shake well before each dose. Use a measuring cup/syringe. Usually given with food to reduce stomach upset. Reconstitute with boiled and cooled water up to the mark as per label and complete the full prescribed course; dose and duration as advised by the doctor (commonly weight-based in children).

Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rash, headache, oral/vaginal candidiasis

Prescription-only antibiotic. Do not use in patients with allergy to penicillins/cephalosporins or history of severe hypersensitivity. Use with caution in hepatic impairment; discontinue and seek care if jaundice, severe rash, or persistent diarrhoea occurs (risk of C. difficile diarrhoea). Dose adjustment may be needed in renal impairment. Not for viral infections; inappropriate use can cause resistance.

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (increased INR), methotrexate (increased toxicity), allopurinol (increased rash risk), probenecid (increases amoxicillin levels), mycophenolate mofetil (reduced exposure)

Store dry powder at room temperature away from moisture and light. After reconstitution, store in a refrigerator (2–8°C), do not freeze, and use within the period stated on the label (commonly 7–10 days). Keep tightly closed.
