Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet

Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat various bacterial infections. It contains amoxicillin (a penicillin-type antibiotic) and clavulanic acid (a beta-lactamase inhibitor). This combination makes the medicine effective against bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin alone. Doctors often prescribe it for infections of the lungs, urinary tract, ear, nose, throat, skin, and dental infections.

The tablet works best when taken with food, as it reduces stomach upset and improves absorption. The dose and duration depend on the severity of the infection and your doctor’s advice.

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

• Diarrhea or loose stools

• Nausea or vomiting

• Stomach discomfort

• Headache

• Skin rash or itching

Seek medical help if you notice severe allergic reactions such as swelling, breathing difficulty, or widespread rash.

How It Works

• Amoxicillin kills bacteria by damaging their protective cell wall.

• Clavulanic acid blocks enzymes made by bacteria (beta-lactamases) that normally reduce the effect of amoxicillin.
  Together, they provide stronger protection against bacterial infections.

How to Take

• Take the tablet with food to avoid stomach upset.

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

• Complete the full course, even if you feel better early, to prevent the infection from returning.

Safety Advice

• Avoid if you are allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics.

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or stomach problems.

• Alcohol should be avoided during treatment, as it can worsen side effects.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only on medical advice.

• Report severe diarrhea or unusual symptoms to your doctor.

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for the next one, skip the missed dose. Do not double up to make up for it.
