AUGMENTIN AMOXICILLIN-POTASSIUM CLAVULANATE 500/125MG 20TABS

Product Description

AUGMENTIN® is a broad spectrum antibiotic against the most commonly encountered pathogens in general practice, as well as in hospitals. Clavulanate’s ß-lactamase inhibitory action extended the spectrum of amoxicillin trihydrate to include many strains resistant to other ß-lactam antibiotics. AUGMENTIN® should be used in accordance with local official antibiotic prescribing guidelines and local sensitivity information. Oral formulations of AUGMENTIN® for a regimen dosing three times a day, they are recommended in the short-term treatment of bacterial infections such as: Infections of the upper respiratory tract (including ear, nose and throat), for example: Tonsillitis, sinusitis, otitis media. Lower respiratory tract infections, for example: Acute and chronic bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia. Infections of the genitourinary tract, for example: Cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis. Infections of the skin and soft tissues, for example: boils, abscesses, cellulitis, infected wounds. Bone and joint infections, for example: Osteomyelitis. Dental infections, for example: dentoalveolar abscess. Other infections, for example: Intra-abdominal sepsis. The sensitivity to AUGMENTIN® will show variation with respect to geography and time (for more information see Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics). Sensitivity information should be consulted if available, and where necessary, microbiological sampling and sensitivity testing should be carried out. Infections caused by microorganisms sensitive to amoxicillin trihydrate are susceptible to treatment with AUGMENTIN® due to its content of amoxicillin trihydrate. Therefore, mixed infections caused by both amoxicillin trihydrate-sensitive microorganisms, together with AUGMENTIN®-sensitive beta-lactamase-producing microorganisms can therefore be treated with AUGMENTIN®.
