Amoxyclav 625 Tablet 10

Amoxyclav 625 Tablet is used to treat a range of bacterial infections in adults, including infections of the chest, sinuses, ears, urinary tract, skin and teeth, by killing the bacteria responsible.

Uses of Amoxyclav 625 Tablet are:

• Chest Infections: Treats bacterial pneumonia and flare-ups of bronchitis.
• Sinus and Ear Infections: Treats bacterial sinusitis and middle ear infections.
• Urinary Tract Infections: Treats bacterial infections of the bladder and kidneys.
• Skin, Bite and Dental Infections: Treats infected skin, animal bites, wounds and dental abscesses.

• Take Amoxyclav 625 Tablet with or just before food, swallowed whole with water, exactly as your doctor prescribes. Taking it with food reduces stomach upset.
• Space the doses evenly through the day and complete the full course, even if you feel better, so the infection clears and resistance does not develop.
• Stop it and get urgent medical help if you get a rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing, as this can be a serious allergic reaction.

Amoxyclav 625 Tablet is taken by mouth. Swallow it whole with water, with or just before food.

Amoxyclav 625 Tablet combines Amoxicillin 500 mg and Clavulanic Acid 125 mg, a penicillin-type antibiotic with a protector. It works by:

• Amoxicillin prevents bacteria from building their protective cell wall, so they die.
• Clavulanic acid blocks an enzyme some bacteria use to destroy amoxicillin, so the antibiotic keeps working against resistant bacteria.

• Store Amoxyclav 625 Tablet below 25°C, away from light and moisture.
• Keep it out of the reach and sight of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the pack.
• Return any unused or expired medicine to your pharmacist for safe disposal.

• Drink plenty of fluids and rest well to help your body fight the infection, and finish the full course as prescribed.
• A probiotic or live yoghurt may help reduce antibiotic-related loose stools; take it a couple of hours apart from your dose.
• Eat a balanced diet and avoid smoking, which slows recovery from chest infections.

These are general suggestions. Your doctor can give advice suited to your infection.

• Complete the full course of Amoxyclav 625 Tablet even if you feel better, and take it with food at evenly spaced times.
• Tell your doctor before starting if you have ever reacted to penicillin or any antibiotic, and get urgent help for swelling or breathing difficulty.
• Report severe, watery or bloody diarrhoea, during or even weeks after the course, as antibiotics can trigger it.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
