Description

Amclav 375 mg Tablet is a powerful antibiotic formulated to combat bacterial infections. It contains Co-amoxiclav, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, which works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and preventing the growth of resistant bacteria. This medication is prescribed to treat infections in various parts of the body, including the respiratory system, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. It is important to take the full course of treatment as prescribed to ensure complete recovery and avoid antibiotic resistance.

Functions

Amclav 375 mg Tablet functions by leveraging the combined effects of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxicillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic that targets bacteria by disrupting their cell walls, causing them to rupture. Clavulanic acid acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, protecting amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes that might otherwise break it down. Together, they provide a broad-spectrum antibiotic effect that is effective against many common bacterial infections, ensuring the medication is powerful against resistant strains.

Precautions

Before using Amclav 375 mg Tablet, it is important to inform your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney problems. Patients should use this medication with caution if they have a risk of urinary crystals or suffer from blood cell disorders. It's also advised to stay hydrated while taking this medication. In case of any unusual symptoms, such as severe stomach pain or skin rashes, immediate medical consultation is required. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for dosing and avoid taking this medication without proper guidance.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Amclav 375 mg Tablet may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. More serious side effects could include liver damage (hepatitis), allergic skin reactions, or conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Other potential side effects include dizziness, blood disorders, and central nervous system symptoms like convulsions. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Although rare, some patients may also develop antibiotic-associated colitis (intestinal infection).

Amclav 375 mg Tablet is contraindicated for individuals who are allergic to penicillin or any of its components, as well as those with liver dysfunction.
