AUGMENTIN INJECTION 1.2mg vial (Amoxycillin/Potassium Clavulanate)

AUGMENTIN INJECTION 1.2mg vial contains a combination of Amoxicillin and Potassium Clavulanate, making it a potent antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. This formulation is particularly effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, providing a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity.

The inclusion of Potassium Clavulanate enhances the efficacy of Amoxicillin by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, thereby preventing the breakdown of the antibiotic. This combination is crucial for overcoming resistance seen in certain bacterial strains.

Common indications for AUGMENTIN include:

• Respiratory tract infections


• Urinary tract infections


• Skin and soft tissue infections


• Intra-abdominal infections

AUGMENTIN is administered via injection, allowing for rapid absorption and effectiveness, particularly in patients unable to take oral medications. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of resistance development.

As with any medication, potential side effects may occur, including gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, and alterations in liver function tests. Patients should be monitored for any adverse effects during treatment.

Consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended prior to use, especially for individuals with a history of allergies to penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics.
