Description
AMOXICLAV (CLAMOXIN) 1000 MG TABLETS – 10’S
Amoxiclav Clamoxin 1000 mg tablets combine 875 mg amoxicillin with 125 mg clavulanic acid per tablet. This powerful antibiotic combination enhances the activity of amoxicillin by blocking beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, allowing more effective treatment.
🔹 Indications
Clamoxin 1000 mg is commonly prescribed for:
- Severe respiratory infections (such as pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis)
- Urinary tract infections, including complicated cases like pyelonephritis
- Skin and soft tissue infections (including cellulitis and abscesses)
- Dental infections such as serious abscesses
- Bone and joint infections like osteomyelitis
- Intra-abdominal and pelvic infections when used alongside suitable drainage
🔹 Dosage & Administration
- Adults and adolescents: typically one 1000 mg tablet every 12 hours with food to improve absorption and reduce gastrointestinal upset.
- Treatment duration: varies depending on the infection, but therapy should continue for the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve.
- Missed dose: take as soon as remembered unless the next dose is near—do not double up.
⚠️ Precautions & Side Effects
Common mild side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. Less common is a skin rash. Rare but serious effects may include allergic reactions (e.g., swelling, difficulty breathing) or liver-related issues. If severe side effects occur, consult a doctor immediately.
Clamoxin should be used cautiously in individuals with penicillin allergy, or those with significant liver or kidney impairment. Always disclose all current medications to the prescriber to avoid interactions.
✅ Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
Summary:
Clamoxin 1000 mg offers robust coverage for moderate to serious bacterial infections. Consistent use under medical supervision and completion of the full therapy are essential to ensure effectiveness and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
