CompositionAugmentin 1.2gm Injection treats various bacterial infections such as respiratory and urinary tract infections and skin and soft tissue infections. It is a combination antibiotic medication comprising amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium.
Amoxicillin, a semi-synthetic penicillin, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis to exert its antibacterial effects. Clavulanate potassium, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, protects amoxicillin from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain resistant bacteria, enhancing its activity spectrum.
The combination of these ingredients enhances the medication's activity and efficacy against a broader range of bacteria. Augmentin Injection is especially beneficial when oral administration is not appropriate.
Before starting Augmentin 1.2gm Injection, the patient's medical history, allergies, and previous antibiotic reactions should be considered. Dosage and treatment duration should be determined by the healthcare provider, considering the patient's age, weight, the risk of adverse effects and specific infection to ensure optimal efficacy.
