Clamoxin (Amoxycillin Sod, Clavulanate Potassium)

Each Injection contains:

Composition:
Amoxycillin Sod. ……......................................…250 mg
Clavulanate Potassium …...........................……50 mg

Indications :
Clamoxin is an antibiotic in the class of drugs called penicillins. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium fights bacteria in the body. Clamoxin is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin.

Description:
Amoxycillin is still a versatile and relatively well tolerated antibiotic. Compared to penicillin it is advantageous because of its broader range. When used alone, amoxycillin is better tolerated than co-trimoxazole. In combination with clavulanic acid (Augmentin) however, it causes more adverse effects. The combination is not effective against all ß-lactamase producing bacteria (e.g. Enterobacter), causes many side-effects (diarrhea), and is very expensive.

Contraindications
Penicillin hypersensitivity. Acute mononucleosis.

Dosage : As per the physician’s advice.
