Mechanism of Action
Johnclav, Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps prevent certain bacteria from becoming resistant to amoxicillin. Together, they form a potent combination that extends the antibiotic spectrum of amoxicillin to include bacteria normally resistant to it.
Dosage Instructions
The dosage of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid depends on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient's age and weight. It's commonly prescribed in various forms, such as tablets, chewable tablets, and suspensions. Adults might typically take 500 mg of amoxicillin with 125 mg of clavulanic acid every 8 hours, or a higher dose (875 mg of amoxicillin and 125 mg of clavulanic acid) every 12 hours. It's important to take the medication at evenly spaced intervals and to complete the entire prescribed course.
Common Uses
This combination is used to treat various infections caused by bacteria, such as urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and sinusitis. It's particularly useful in treating infections that are known to be or are suspected to be resistant to standard antibiotics.
Benefits
The addition of clavulanic acid makes amoxicillin more effective against a wider range of bacteria. This combination is often chosen when an infection is resistant to other antibiotics or when a broad-spectrum antibiotic is needed.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Some individuals may experience allergic reactions, such as skin rash, itching, or hives. More serious side effects, though rare, can include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, and severe gastrointestinal issues.
