Augmentin is a brand name for a combination antibiotic medication that contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. It is primarily used for treating bacterial infections that are resistant to standard treatments, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and skin infections.
Amoxicillin is a Penicillin-like antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria, while Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of amoxicillin by resistant bacteria, allowing the drug to remain effective against them.
Augmentin is available in various formulations such as tablets, chewable tablets, and suspension, and the dosage and duration of the treatment depend on the severity of the infection and the patient's age and health status.
However, like any other medication, Augmentin may cause some side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, and allergic reactions in some people. Therefore, it is crucial to seek medical attention if any adverse effect occurs while taking Augmentin.
