Augmentin (Amoxicillin Clavulanate) - Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warnings | Co-amoxiclav | Amoxyclav
Augmentin, also known as Amoxicillin Clavulanate, Co-amoxiclav or Amoxyclav, is a potent antibiotic combining amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. It's effective against various bacterial infections including respiratory, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue infections, among others. Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances, skin reactions, yeast infections, headaches, and taste changes. Serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, blood disorders, and kidney issues. Mechanistically, amoxicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall formation while clavulanic acid inhibits enzymes that could deactivate amoxicillin. Dosage varies based on infection severity and patient factors. Important warnings include potential drug interactions, caution during pregnancy and lactation, Clostridium difficile infection risk, allergic reactions, and monitoring liver function.
