WHAT AUGMENTIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Augmentin is an antibiotic and works by killing bacteria that cause
infections. It contains two
different medicines called amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
Amoxicillin belongs to a group of
medicines called “penicillins” that can sometimes be stopped from
working (made inactive). The
other active component (clavulanic acid) stops this from happening.
Augmentin is used in adults and children to treat the following
infections:
•
severe ear, nose and throat infections
•
respiratory tract infections
•
urinary tract infections
•
skin and soft tissue infections including dental infections
•
bone and joint infections
•
intra-abdominal infections
•
genital organ infections in women.
Augmentin is used in adults and children to prevent infections
associated with major surgical
procedures.
