What is Augmentin?

Augmentin is an FDA-approved prescription medication. It is a penicillin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as sinusitis, ear infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia.

It belongs to a class of drugs called beta-lactamase inhibitors. Augmentin will not work on viral infections like the common cold or flu. The generic version of Augmentin is amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium. Augmentin is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate, or clavulanic acid. It kills bacteria by attacking the cell wall and preventing the bacteria from maintaining its cell wall. With no cell wall, the bacteria cannot survive in the body. 

Augmentin is only available with a doctor's prescription. A full medical evaluation and an analysis of the bacteria causing the infection may be needed in order to prevent antibacterial resistance. 

Augmentin is generally considered safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. However, you should tell your healthcare professional if you are or plan on becoming pregnant while using Augmentin. Also, let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding because the active ingredients in Augmentin may pass into breast milk.

What doses of Augmentin are available?

Augmentin comes in three forms; immediate-release tablets, extended-release tablets, and a liquid suspension. The generic version of Augmentin is also available as a chewable tablet.

You should store Augmentin tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat. The liquid form should be refrigerated after opening when not in use.

What are the side effects of Augmentin?

Some of the most common side effects of Augmentin include skin rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and vaginitis. You may also experience other side effects not mentioned.

This will help your doctor assess whether Augmentin is safe for you to use for the treatment of bacterial infections.
