What is Augmentin?

Augmentin is a combination antibiotic used for treating bacterial infections including infections in the urinary tract, respiratory tract or skin and soft tissues. Augmentin contains Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin belongs to a class of medications called penicillins, which kills bacteria by interrupting the integrity of bacterial cell walls. Clavulanic acid belongs to a class of medications called beta-lactamase inhibitors, which prevents bacteria from destroying Amoxicillin. Augmentin does not work for virus or fungus infections.

Available dosage
  • 600mg / 1.2mg (Injections)
  • 156mg/5ml / 457mg/5ml (Oral Suspension)
  • 375mg / 625mg / 1g (Tablets)
