Augmentin 375 Tablet

Augmentin 375 Tablet is an antibiotic used to treat different types of bacterial infections. It combines amoxicillin (a penicillin antibiotic) with clavulanic acid (a beta-lactamase inhibitor). This combination allows the medicine to fight infections caused by bacteria that may not respond to amoxicillin alone. Doctors prescribe it for infections of the lungs, urinary tract, ear, nose, throat, skin, and bones.

The medicine should be taken with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. The dose and treatment duration are decided by your doctor, depending on the infection and your health condition.

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience mild and temporary side effects, including:

• Diarrhea or loose stools

• Nausea or vomiting

• Stomach upset

• Skin rash

Severe allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.

How It Works

• Amoxicillin kills bacteria by damaging their protective covering.

• Clavulanic acid prevents bacteria from producing enzymes that block amoxicillin’s action.
  Together, they give stronger and broader antibacterial protection.

• Swallow it whole with water; do not crush or chew.

• Complete the full course even if you feel better before finishing it.

Safety Advice

• Do not take if you are allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only on a doctor’s advice.

• Report unusual symptoms like persistent diarrhea or skin rashes immediately.

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses at once.
