Amoxicillin Potassium Clavulanate Oral Suspension IP is a combination antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial infections in adults and paediatric patients. The active ingredients, amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, work together to inhibit the biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide of susceptible bacteria, making it effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.
Indications for use include lower respiratory tract infections, acute bacterial otitis media, sinusitis, skin and skin structure infections, and urinary tract infections. It is crucial to use this medication only for proven or suspected bacterial infections, as overuse can contribute to the development of drug-resistant bacteria and reduce its effectiveness in treating future infections.
The recommended dosage for adults and paediatric patients over 40 kg is 500 or 875 mg every 12 hours or 250 or 500 mg every 8 hours, depending on the amoxicillin component. Each dose should be taken with a meal or snack to reduce the possibility of gastrointestinal upset.
