Augmentin Duo Oral Suspension is an antibiotic medication combining amoxicillin and clavulanic acid used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is available by prescription and is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd..
Uses
Augmentin Duo is used to treat infections caused by bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics. It is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. Specific uses include:
- Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis)
- Ear infections (acute otitis media)
- Urinary tract infections
- Skin and soft tissue infections (including dental infections and animal bites)
- Bone and joint infections
- Resistant tuberculosis (TB) in multidrug-resistant cases
Key Information
- Composition: Each 5ml of the reconstituted suspension typically contains 200 mg of Amoxicillin and 28.5 mg of Clavulanic acid.
- Administration: It should be taken orally, with or after food, to help absorption and reduce stomach upset. The bottle must be shaken well before each use, and a proper measuring device should be used for accurate dosing.
- Dosage: The dosage and duration are determined by a doctor based on the patient’s age, weight, and the severity of the infection. It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
- Storage: The dry powder should be stored in a cool, dry place below 25°C. After mixing with water (reconstitution), the suspension must be stored in a refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) and discarded after 7 days.
