How It Works

Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Clavulanate is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacteria from inactivating amoxicillin. This combination allows Aquaclav to effectively combat a broader range of bacterial infections, including those resistant to amoxicillin alone.

Dosage

The typical dosage of Aquaclav Tablet 1g is one tablet twice daily. It should be taken with meals to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal side effects. The duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and skin rash. These are usually mild and transient. Serious side effects, though rare, can include severe allergic reactions, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, and liver problems. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Warning

Aquaclav should be used with caution in patients with a history of penicillin allergy or liver disease. It may not be suitable for patients with mononucleosis. Prolonged use may result in the overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms. If superinfection occurs during therapy, appropriate measures should be taken.
