Augmentin 625mg Duo Tablets

Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections in the body that affect the skin, soft tissues, lungs, ears, urinary tract, and nasal sinuses. It should be mentioned that viral infections like the flu and the common cold are not treated by this medication.

Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet consists of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer, thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal action). Clavulanic acid inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. As a result, the action of Clavulanic acid allows Amoxycillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet does not work against infections caused by viruses, including colds and flu.

The dose of Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). The common side effects of Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea. Everyone may not experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

Before starting Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet , please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or kidney or liver problems. Do not take Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet on your own as self-medication since it may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Treatment of Bacterial Infections (Ear infections (acute otitis media), Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Urinary tract infections, skin infections, etc.)

Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that covers a very wide range of bacterial infections. Augmentin 625 Duo Tablet has Clavulanic acid, which protects amoxycillin from getting destroyed by the bacterial enzyme, thus increasing its efficacy. Besides this, it helps overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria that is caused by the enzyme beta-lactamase. This makes the drug effective in multiple infections like ear infections (acute otitis media), bronchitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, etc.
