How It Works

Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis leading to bacterial death. Clavulanate potassium acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, preventing bacteria from inactivating amoxicillin. This combination allows the antibiotic to overcome drug resistance in many bacterial strains.

Dosage

Take with water. Treatment duration is typically 7-14 days. Always complete the full prescribed course.

Duration of Action

Auglocef begins working within hours of administration. Peak blood levels occur 1-2 hours after dosing. The medication maintains therapeutic levels for 8-12 hours. Most patients experience symptom improvement within 48-72 hours, though complete treatment course must be finished.

Side Effects

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, skin rash, headache, and vaginal yeast infections. Most are mild and resolve after treatment completion. Rare but serious side effects include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, or antibiotic-associated colitis.

Warning

Auglocef can cause serious allergic reactions, especially in patients with penicillin allergy history. Seek immediate medical attention for signs of allergic reaction. Use cautiously in patients with liver disease or mononucleosis. May cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea including C. difficile colitis.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Auglocef is generally considered safe during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risks. It’s classified as Pregnancy Category B. The medication passes into breast milk in small amounts but is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding. Consult healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or nursing.

Interaction

• Oral contraceptives may have reduced effectiveness
• Allopurinol increases risk of skin rash
• Anticoagulants may have increased bleeding risk
• Probenecid can increase amoxicillin blood levels
• Methotrexate toxicity may be increased
• May affect certain laboratory test results

Precaution

Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment, liver disease, or history of gastrointestinal disease. Monitor for signs of superinfection during prolonged use. Maintain adequate hydration during treatment. Inform all healthcare providers about Auglocef use before procedures or when starting new medications.
