Augmentin (Amoxicillin/Potassium Clavulanate)

How does Augmentin work?

It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is known to destroy bacteria. It is found to be active against a number of aerobic as well as anaerobic gram positive and aerobic gram negative microbes such as strains which lead to production of beta-lactamase. Clavulanate potassium helps in providing resistance to the activity of bacterial beta-lactamases. Also it can be used to treat pneumonia as well as other infectious ailments of respiratory, gastrointestinal systems, urogenital systems, infections which emerge after surgery and others.

Doses are given individually based on the patient’s condition, localization of infection as well as propensity of the pathogen. Avoid taking it in larger amounts or for a longer duration than advised. The whole tablet must be swallowed with a glass full of water. If it is the Augmentin Chewable tablet then you must chew it before engulfing it. Augmentin must be consumed at evenly spaced interval.

If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember, but not if it is roughly time of the next consumption by your timetable. If so pass over the missed dose. Do not try to recompense a missed dose by taking an extra one.

Treatment with antibiotics such as Augmentin can modify the normal bacteria flora of the colon as well as permit overgrowth of C. difficile, bacterium which results in pseudomembranous colitis. Probenecid which is used in the treatment of gout may slow down the excretion of Augmentin by kidneys and may bring about an increase in its toxicity.
