Description
Intas Pharmaceuticals produces the penicillin type antibiotic Megamentin. Amoxicillin, an antibiotic, and Potassium Clavulanate, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, are both components of this drug. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, teeth, joints, bones, ear, sinus, throat, lung, and the urinary tract. For viral infections like the common cold, it won’t work. It is frequently used to treat acne, a skin disorder brought on by bacteria.
Benefits of taking Amoxicillin & Potassium
The two compounds combine to eliminate the infection-causing bacteria. Amoxicillin inhibits bacterial growth, while Potassium Clavulanate lessens resistance while boosting Amoxicillin’s antibacterial action. The drug’s overall mechanism of action involves blocking the production of the bacterial protective layer, which is necessary for bacteria to survive.
How to take Augmentin
The required dosage of the drug is based on how severe the infection is. In most cases, one
1000mg tablet is given twice daily (ideally every 12 hours). Within a few days, infection symptoms should decrease, but the drug should still be taken for a few more days, even after symptoms go away, to make sure that all of the bacteria are killed.
Augmentin side effects
Some individuals may have vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea when taking the drug. In the event that any of these side effects persist, consult a medical specialist. The risk of stomach distress will be lessened if the drug is taken with food.
