1 AUGMENTIN™ PRODUCT INFORMATION (AMOXYCILLIN TRIHYDRATE AND POTASSIUM CLAVULANATE) NAME OF THE MEDICINE AUGMENTIN is a combination product containing the semisynthetic antibiotic amoxycillin and the -lactamase inhibitor, potassium clavulanate (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Chemically, amoxycillin is D-(-)- -amino-p-hydroxybenzyl-penicillin trihydrate. It is susceptible to hydrolysis by -lactamases. Clavulanic acid is produced by the fermentation of _Streptomyces clavuligerus_. It is an irreversible inhibitor of many -lactamase enzymes except type 1 (Richmond). It is a -lactam compound with only weak antibacterial activity. Chemically potassium clavulanate is potassium Z-(2R,5R)-3-(B- hydroxyethylidene) clavam-2-carboxylate. DESCRIPTION AUGMENTIN SYRUP also contains the inactive ingredients xanthum gum, aspartame, silicon dioxide, silica colloidal anhydrous, succinic acid, hypromellose and mixed fruit flavour. PHARMACOLOGY AUGMENTIN is stable in the presence of gastric acid. Its two components are rapidly absorbed if administered before or with a meal, but if given after meals, the serum levels of clavulanic acid are significantly reduced. In fasting subjects mean peak serum levels after 1 Augmentin tablet were 2.98 mg/L (range 1.2 to 5.1 ) for clavulanic acid and 3.89 mg/L (range 2.4 to 6.0 ) for amoxycillin. These levels occurred at 30 to 120 minutes and 60 to 240 minutes respectively after dosing. Following 1 Augmentin Forte tablet peak serum levels in fasting subjects were 3.28 to 4.72 mg/L for clavulanic acid, and 10.28 to 12.06 mg/L for amoxycillin, and were achi Διαβάστε το πλήρες έγγραφο
