Amoxicillin & Clavulanate Potassium for Oral Suspension 600mg/42.9mg 75mL
Details
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Powder for Oral Suspension (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium) and other antibacterial drugs, Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Powder for Oral Suspension should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Powder for Oral Suspension is a combination penicillin-class antibacterial and beta-lactamase inhibitor indicated in the treatment of infections due to susceptible isolates of the designated bacteria in the conditions listed below:
Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
- caused by beta-lactamase-producing isolates of Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis.
Acute Bacterial Otitis Media
- caused by beta-lactamase-producing isolates of H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis.
Sinusitis
- caused by beta-lactamase-producing isolates of H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis.
Skin and Skin Structure Infections
- caused by beta-lactamase-producing isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella species.
Urinary Tract Infections
- caused by beta-lactamase-producing isolates of E. coli, Klebsiella species, and Enterobacter species.
Limitations of Use
- When susceptibility test results show susceptibility to amoxicillin, indicating no beta-lactamase production, Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Powder for Oral Suspension should not be used.
