How It Works

Kenop 625mg utilizes a dual-action mechanism. Amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic, disrupts bacterial cell wall formation by creating holes that lead to bacterial death. Clavulanic acid prevents bacteria from producing beta-lactamases, chemicals that could potentially neutralize the antibiotic’s effectiveness.

Dosage

Adults typically take one Kenop 625mg tablet twice daily, with doses spaced at least 4 hours apart. Children’s dosage is determined by weight and carefully prescribed by healthcare providers. Always take the medication at the beginning of a meal to minimize potential stomach discomfort.

Duration of Action

Antimicrobial effects begin rapidly, with peak concentrations reached within 1-2 hours of ingestion. The medication continues to work throughout the treatment course, typically ranging from 5-14 days depending on the specific infection.

Side Effects

Potential side effects may include mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or diarrhea. Rare but serious side effects can include hyperactivity, dizziness, headache, and in very rare cases, convulsions.

Warnings

Not recommended for individuals with known allergies to penicillin or clavulanic acid. Use with extreme caution in patients with liver or kidney problems, or those with a history of antibiotic-related complications.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals must consult healthcare providers to thoroughly assess the risks and benefits before using Kenop 625mg.

May impact effectiveness of other medications
Possible interactions with blood thinners
