Lynxiclav Suspension 457mg x70ml

Lynxiclav Suspension 457mg is a powerful antibiotic combination containing amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. This formulation is designed to treat bacterial infections, particularly those resistant to other antibiotics, providing broad-spectrum coverage against various pathogens.

Uses

Lynxiclav Suspension is primarily used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. It’s particularly effective against infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin alone.

Benefits

• Provides broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage
• Effective against many antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains
• Liquid formulation allows for easy dosage adjustment
• Can be used in both pediatric and adult populations
• Treats a wide range of bacterial infections

How It Works

Lynxiclav Suspension works through a dual mechanism of action. Amoxicillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic, interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. Clavulanate potassium enhances amoxicillin’s efficacy by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. This synergistic combination allows Lynxiclav to combat infections more effectively than either component alone.

Dosage

Pediatric dose: 30-90 mg/kg/day divided every 12 hours Adult dose: 250-875 mg every 8-12 hours depending on infection type Lynxiclav Suspension can be taken by mouth with or without food. The liquid form allows for easy dosage adjustment across patient ages. Typical treatment duration is 10-14 days, but always follow your doctor’s instructions.

Duration of Action

The antibacterial effects of Lynxiclav Suspension begin shortly after administration. However, it’s crucial to complete the entire prescribed course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, and skin rash. If these persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider. Severe side effects, though rare, may include severe allergic reactions, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual bleeding or bruising.

Warning

Lynxiclav Suspension should not be used in patients with a known allergy to penicillins or clavulanic acid. Use with caution in patients with liver disease or a history of antibiotic-associated colitis.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Lynxiclav Suspension is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but always consult your healthcare provider before use.

Interactions

• Probenecid decreases the renal excretion of Lynxiclav Suspension
• May cause false positive urine protein tests
• Potential interaction with oral contraceptives, reducing their effectiveness
• May interact with certain blood thinners, increasing the risk of bleeding

Important Information

Refrigerated suspension retains potency for 10 days. Yeast overgrowth and antibiotic-associated colitis are possible complications. Always complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider. This medication should only be used to treat bacterial infections; it is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
