Auglocef 1000mg Tablet (Amoxil & Clavulanic) x14

Auglocef 1000mg Tablet is a combination antibiotic containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. This broad-spectrum medication effectively treats bacterial infections by overcoming beta-lactamase resistance, making it suitable for treating various respiratory, urinary, and skin infections.

Uses

Auglocef 1000mg treats bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, typhoid fever, gonorrhea, skin and soft tissue infections, sinusitis, and pneumonia. It’s prescribed when standard antibiotics fail due to bacterial resistance or when broader coverage is needed for mixed infections.

Benefits

• Provides broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage
• Overcomes beta-lactamase mediated bacterial resistance
• Treats multiple types of bacterial infections
• Reduces infection duration and severity
• Prevents complications from untreated infections
• Effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
• Well-established safety profile
• Available in convenient twice-daily dosing
• Suitable for most age groups

How It Works

Amoxicillin disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes that bacteria produce to resist penicillin-type antibiotics. This combination extends Amoxicillin’s effectiveness against resistant bacterial strains that would otherwise survive treatment.

Dosage

Take Auglocef with food to reduce stomach upset. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve. Space doses evenly throughout the day.

Duration of Action

Auglocef 1000mg begins working within hours of administration, with peak blood levels achieved in 1-2 hours. Clinical improvement typically occurs within 48-72 hours. Each dose provides antibacterial activity for approximately 8-12 hours, requiring twice-daily dosing for optimal effectiveness.

Side Effects

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort. Some patients experience headache, dizziness, or skin rash. Antibiotic-associated diarrhea may occur due to disruption of normal gut bacteria. Severe allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Warning

Complete the full prescribed course to prevent antibiotic resistance. Do not use if allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. Discontinue immediately if severe diarrhea, skin rash, or breathing difficulties occur. Not effective against viral infections like common cold or flu.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Auglocef 1000mg is generally safe during pregnancy when bacterial infection treatment is necessary. It’s classified as pregnancy category B. Small amounts pass into breast milk but are generally considered safe during breastfeeding. Consult healthcare provider to weigh benefits versus risks.

• May reduce effectiveness of oral contraceptives
• Increased risk of side effects with allopurinol

Precaution

Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment. Monitor for signs of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea. Patients with mononucleosis may develop skin rash. Inform healthcare providers about previous penicillin allergies. Avoid alcohol during treatment to prevent stomach upset.
