Augmentin is a combination antibiotic that contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which leads to the destruction of the bacteria. Clavulanic acid inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by bacteria that can inactivate amoxicillin, thus extending the antibiotic spectrum of amoxicillin to include bacteria resistant to amoxicillin alone.
Take Augmentin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may reduce stomach upset.
Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split the tablet.
Adults and Children over 40 kg: Typically, 500 mg/125 mg or 875 mg/125 mg every 12 hours, depending on the severity of the infection.
Children under 40 kg: Dosage is based on weight, typically 20-40 mg/kg/day divided into three doses.
Take the medication at evenly spaced intervals to maintain consistent blood levels.
Complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished.
If using a liquid form, shake the bottle well before each dose and use a proper measuring device.
Inform your healthcare provider of any allergies, especially to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.
Augmentin can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you experience severe diarrhea, contact your healthcare provider.
Use caution if you have liver disease or a history of jaundice.

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose of Augmentin?
