Aquaclav 375mg

Aquaclav 375mg is an antibiotic medication that combines Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid. This combination enhances the effectiveness of Amoxicillin, allowing it to treat a broad spectrum of bacterial infections, including those caused by bacteria that may produce beta-lactamase, an enzyme that can deactivate certain antibiotics.

Active Ingredients:

• Amoxicillin (375mg): A penicillin-type antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is essential for the bacteria’s survival and growth.
• Clavulanic Acid (125mg): A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Amoxicillin from being broken down by bacterial enzymes, thereby enhancing its antibacterial effectiveness.

Indications:

Aquaclav 375mg is prescribed for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including:

• Upper respiratory infections (e.g., sinusitis, pharyngitis)
• Lower respiratory infections (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia)
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Ear infections (otitis media)
• Dental infections

Dosage and Administration:

Aquaclav 375mg is typically taken orally in tablet or suspension form. It is recommended to take the medication with food to reduce gastrointestinal side effects and improve absorption. The dosage will depend on the severity and type of infection and should be determined by a healthcare provider. It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is completely cleared and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, diarrhea, or mild abdominal discomfort.
• Skin rash or itching.
• Mild headache or dizziness.

More serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, such as swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing. If any serious side effects occur, seek immediate medical attention.

Contraindications:

Aquaclav 375mg should not be used by individuals who have:

• A known allergy or hypersensitivity to Amoxicillin, Clavulanic Acid, or other penicillin antibiotics.
• A history of severe liver problems or jaundice related.
