• Effective against many penicillin-resistant bacterial strains
• Treats wide range of common bacterial infections
• Offers convenient twice-daily dosing schedule
• Has well-established safety profile with decades of clinical use
• Demonstrates rapid onset of action against susceptible organisms
• Reduces infection severity and prevents complications
• Available in multiple formulations for different patient needs
• Cost-effective treatment option for bacterial infections

How It Works

Amoxicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, causing cell death. Clavulanic acid inactivates beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, protecting amoxicillin from degradation and allowing it to work effectively against these strains.

Dosage

Take Amoksiklav with food to enhance absorption and reduce stomach upset. Complete the full prescribed course.

Duration of Action

Amoksiklav begins working within hours of administration, with peak blood levels achieved within 1-2 hours. Bacterial killing occurs rapidly once therapeutic levels are reached. Most patients notice symptom improvement within 24-48 hours, though the full course must be completed.

Side Effects

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. Less frequent effects include yeast infections, stomach upset, and headache. Severe reactions are rare but may include allergic reactions, liver problems, or severe diarrhea requiring immediate medical attention.

Warning

Do not use if allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. Use caution in patients with liver disease, kidney problems, or mononucleosis. Prolonged use may lead to antibiotic-resistant infections or fungal overgrowth. May reduce effectiveness of oral contraceptives.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Amoksiklav is generally considered safe during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risks. It passes into breast milk in small amounts but is usually compatible with breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare provider to discuss individual risk-benefit considerations during pregnancy or nursing.

Interaction

• May interact with probenecid, increasing amoxicillin blood levels
• Possible interaction with allopurinol, increasing rash risk
• May enhance effects of oral anticoagulants like warfarin
• Could interact with methotrexate, increasing toxicity risk
• May affect certain laboratory test results including glucose tests

Precaution

Complete the full treatment course even if feeling better. Take at evenly spaced intervals to maintain therapeutic blood levels. Patients with kidney or liver impairment may require dose adjustments. Monitor for signs of superinfection during prolonged use.

Important Information

Amoksiklav is a prescription antibiotic requiring proper medical supervision. Do not share with others or save leftover medication. If severe diarrhea develops, contact your healthcare provider immediately as this may indicate serious intestinal infection. Drink adequate fluids and store at room temperature. Inform all healthcare providers about current antibiotic use before procedures or new treatments.
