AUGMED 228-5
₹67.53
Augmed 228.5 Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medication containing a combination of amoxicillin (200 mg) and clavulanic acid (28.5 mg), used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in children and, in some cases, drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Key Information
- Active Ingredients: Amoxicillin (200 mg) and Clavulanic acid (28.5 mg).
- Drug Class: This is a penicillin-type antibiotic combined with a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Amoxicillin kills bacteria by inhibiting the formation of their cell walls, while clavulanic acid prevents bacteria from developing resistance to amoxicillin by blocking a specific enzyme.
- Uses: It is prescribed for a wide range of bacterial infections, including:
- Respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis)
- Ear, nose, and throat infections (otitis media, tonsillitis)
- Urinary tract infections
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- Bone and joint infections
- Dental infections
- Drug-resistant tuberculosis (as part of a combination therapy)
Administration & Side Effects
- Usage: The medication is an oral suspension (liquid form) that should be measured with a proper measuring device (not a household spoon) and shaken well before each use. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food is generally recommended to reduce stomach upset.
- Common Side Effects: These are typically mild and temporary, often subsiding as the body adjusts to the medication.
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Skin rash
Important Precautions
- Medical Consultation: This medication is a prescription drug and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Your doctor should be informed of your or your child’s full medical history, especially liver or kidney conditions, blood disorders, or allergies to penicillin.
- Complete the Course: It is crucial to complete the full prescribed course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure all bacteria are eradicated and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
- Not for Viral Infections: Augmed 228.5 is only effective against bacterial infections and should not be used for viral illnesses like the common cold or flu.
- Storage: The dry powder should be stored in a cool, dry place. Once mixed with sterile water, the suspension must be stored in the refrigerator and any unused portion discarded after 7 days.
Consult a doctor promptly if persistent or severe side effects occur, such as a serious allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, facial swelling) or persistent diarrhea.
