How It Works
Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Clavulanate potassium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacteria from inactivating amoxicillin. This combination allows the antibiotic to overcome drug resistance in many bacterial strains.
Dosage
The typical adult dosage is one 625mg tablet every 12 hours. i.e. 1 morning and 1 evening, depending on the severity of the infection. Treatment usually lasts 7-14 days. Always follow your doctor’s prescription and complete the full course of treatment.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea and vomiting
- Skin rash
- Headache
- Vaginal yeast infection
Rare but serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions or liver problems.
Warning
This medication can cause serious allergic reactions, especially in patients with a history of penicillin allergy. If signs of an allergic reaction occur, seek immediate medical attention. Use with caution in patients with liver disease or mononucleosis.
