Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as ear, nose and throat infections (sinusitis, tonsillitis, otitis media), lower respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia), urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and dental infections.

Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, killing susceptible bacteria. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects amoxicillin from breakdown by beta-lactamase–producing bacteria, thereby broadening coverage.

Dry syrup for oral use. Reconstitute with boiled and cooled water up to the mark, shake well, and use the measuring cup/spoon. Give the dose as prescribed by the doctor (commonly in 2 divided doses every 12 hours), preferably at the start of a meal to reduce stomach upset. Shake well before each dose and complete the full course.

Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, skin rash, oral/vaginal thrush, headache

Do not use in patients with allergy to penicillins/cephalosporins or with previous amoxicillin-clavulanate–associated jaundice/hepatic dysfunction. Use with caution in liver disease and renal impairment (dose adjustment may be needed). Stop and seek medical help if rash, breathing difficulty, facial swelling, or severe/persistent diarrhoea occurs. Not for viral infections. Prolonged use may cause superinfection.

Warfarin/other anticoagulants (may increase INR/bleeding risk), methotrexate (increased toxicity), probenecid (increases amoxicillin levels), allopurinol (increased rash risk), mycophenolate mofetil (reduced active metabolite levels), oral typhoid vaccine (reduced effect)

Store the dry powder at room temperature, protected from moisture and light. After reconstitution, store in a refrigerator (2–8°C) if advised on label, do not freeze, keep tightly closed, shake well, and use within 7 days (or as per pack instructions).
