Uses

Indications

Should use Augmentin 500 under the instructions of the official antibiotic prescription and data on sensitivity of local bacteria.

Augmentin 500mg is indicated for short -term treatment of bacterial infections caused by bacteria sensitive to amoxicillin - Clavulanate, in the following positions:

  • Upper respiratory infections (including ear - nose - throat) such as tonsillitis recurrence of sinusitis, otitis media, typically caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae*, Moraxella Catatrhalis* and Streptococcus pyogenes. The lobes and pulmonary inflammation, typically caused by Streptococcus Pneumoniae, Haemophilus Influenzae* and Moraxella Catnrhalis*. Coli*), Staphylococcus Saprophyticus and Enterococcus Species and gonorrhea caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Bone, typical caused by Staphylococcus aureus*, often required for prolonged treatment. News).

    The sensitivity of bacteria with Augmentin 500mg will vary by geography and time. It is advisable to consult the sensitivity of local bacteria if available, and conduct microorganisms and tests for sensitivity if needed.

    Infections caused by amoxicillin sensitive strains can be treated by augmentin 500mg thanks to amoxicillin ingredients. The mixed infection caused by amoxicillin sensitive strains combined with the Beta - Lactamase strain sensitive to Amoxicillin - Clavulanate can be treated with augmentin.

    Pharmacokology

    Mechanism of action

    Amoxicillin is a semi -synthetic antibiotic with wide antibacterial spectrum against many Gram -positive and gram -negative bacteria. However, Amoxicillin is easily decomposed by beta - lactamase, and therefore the effect of Amoxicillin used alone does not include these bacteria.

    Clavulanic acid is a beta - lactam, structurally related to penicillin, which is capable of inactivating many types of beta - lactamase, commonly found in resistant bacteria with penicillin and cephalosporin. In particular, Clavulanic Acid works well against beta - lactamase specified by the clinical important plasmid that is often responsible for the resistance of drugs spread. Clavulanic acid often affects the Beta - Lactamase type 1 specified by chromosomes.

    The presence of clavulanic acid in augmentin protects amoxicillin from decomposition by beta - lactamase, and effective expansion of amoxicillin antibacterial spectrum includes many common bacteria to resist amoxicillin and penicillin and other cephalosporins. Therefore, Augmentin has a special characteristic of a broad -spectrum antibiotic and a beta - lactamase inhibitor.

    Pharmacological effects

    In the list below, bacteria are classified based on in vitro sensitivity to augmentin.

    Two components of Augmentin 500mg, amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are completely dissociated in water solutions in physiological pH. Both ingredients are well absorbed and fast when used orally. Augmentin absorption is optimized when taking the drug at the beginning of the meal.

    Amoxicillin concentration in serum achieved when using augmentin is similar to when taking amoxicillin separately with the same dose.

    Distribution

    After intravenous medication, the treatment concentration of both amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in tissue and interstitial fluid. The treatment concentration of both substances is found in the gallbladder, skin, fat and muscle tissue. Treatment concentration can be achieved in epidemics, peritoneal, bile and latex. Both amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are not much associated with protein, studies show that about 25% of clavulanic acid and 18% amoxicillin of the entire drug in plasma are associated with protein.

    From animal studies there is no evidence that these two components have accumulated at the body in the body.

    Like other penicillins, amoxicillin can be detected in breast milk. Clavulanate is also detected in milk in the form of traces. In addition to the risk of sensitivity related to this excretion, it is not known which adverse effect for breastfeeding.

    Studies on animal fertility have shown that both amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are absorbed through the placenta. However, evidence has not been detected about harmful effects on fertility or embryos.

    Metabolism

    Amoxicillin is partially excreted in the urine in the form of penicilloic acid inactivation with an equivalent of 10-25% of the starting dose. In humans, Clavulanic Acid is converted mainly to 2.5-dihydro-4- (2-hyperroxyethyl) -5-OxO-1 H-Pyrroole-3-Carboxylic Acid and 1-AMINO-4-Hydroxy -over-2-One, and are eliminated in urine, feces and carbon dioxide in breathing gas.

    Elimination

    Like other penicillins, amoxicillin is excreted mainly through the kidneys, while clavulanate eliminates both the kidneys and does not pass through the kidneys.

    About 60 - 70% amoxicillin and about 40 - 65% Clavulanic acid are excreted in the form of unchanged urine within the first 6 hours after taking single tablets 250/125mg or 500/125mg.

    Used in combination with probenecid to slow down amoxicillin elimination but do not slow down the renal excretion of clavulanic acid (see interaction).

    Augmentin (Beta-lactam antibiotic penicillin group combined with beta-lactamase inhibitors) is an antibiotic with wide antibacterial spectrum, especially against common bacteria in the community and hospitals. Clavulanate's beta-lactamase enzyme inhibitors expand Amoxicillin's antibacterial spectrum, including many strains that have been resistant to other beta-lactam antibiotics.

    liver failure

    Be cautious when prescribing should periodically check the liver function.

    Not enough data to give recommended dose.

    What to do when overdose?

    Symptoms and signs

    Symptoms on the gastrointestinal tract and electrolyte water balance disorders may be an expression of overdose. Observed the amoxicillin crystal, in some cases, the kidney failure (see warning and caution).

    Treatment

    can treat symptoms for gastrointestinal manifestations with a note of water and electrolyte balance. Augmentin 500mg can be removed from the circulatory cycle with hemolysis.

    Children

    A study overtime over 51 children at a anti -toxic center showed an overdose of less than 250mg/kg amoxicillin without significant clinical symptoms and no need to clean the stomach.

    What to do when forgetting the dose? However, if the time to relax with the next dose is too short, skip the dose and continue the calendar of the drug. Do not use double dose to compensate for missed dose.

    Side Effects

    Data from large clinical trials have been used to determine the frequency of unwanted effects from very popular to rare. The frequency of prescribed for all other unwanted effects (for example, appears below 1/10,000) is determined mainly from the figures after the drug circulates and to refer to the reporting rate rather than the actual frequency.

    The following convention is used to classify the frequency:

    Very popular> 1/10.

    Popular> 1/100 and

    Not popular> 1/1000 and

    rarely> 1/10,000 and

    Very rare

    Infections and parasites

    Popular: Candida infection on the skin and mucosa.

    Disorders of blood systems and lymph

    Rare: Reducing leukemia (including neutropen leukopenia) and platelets.

    Very rare: Hydronuclia has recovered and hemolytic anemia. Extend bleeding time and prothrombin time.

    immune system disorders

    Very rare: Neurology, anaphylaxis, serum, hypersensitivity syndrome.

    Nervous system disorders

    Unknown

    : dizziness headache.

    Very rare hyperactivity with recovery and convulsions. Convulsions may appear in patients with impaired renal function or high doses.

    Gastrointestinal disorders

    Adults:

  • Very popular: diarrhea.
  • common: nausea, vomiting.

    Popular: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting.

    All subjects: Nausea often appear more when taking high doses. If there are signs of reactions on the gastrointestinal tract, Augmentin can be taken at the beginning of the meal to quickly reduce this reaction.

  • Not common: indigestion. (See warning and caution). Black blade. Good dental hygiene can prevent tooth color change.
  • Unsatisfied has recorded a moderate increase in AST or ALT in patients treated with beta-lactam antibiotics, but it does not know the meaning of these findings. Liver events are mainly reported in men and elderly patients and may be related to prolonged treatment time.

    All subjects: Signs and symptoms often appear in or immediately after treatment but some cases may not become clear until several weeks after stopping the drug. These events often recover. The events on the liver may be severe and in some extremely rare cases, there have been death reports. Most of these cases often occur in patients with severe serious illnesses or taking knowing drugs that can affect the liver.

    Skin and tissue disorders

  • Unsatisfactory: Ban on the skin, itching, urticaria. Kidney and urinary disorders
  • Very rare: interstitial nephritis, urinary crystals (see overdose).
  • Warnings

    Before using the drug you need to read the instructions carefully and refer to the information below.

    Contraindicated

    Augmentin 500mg contraindications in the following cases:

  • In patients with a history of hypersensitivity to beta-lactam, for example, penicillin and cephalosporin. Amoxicillin-clavulanate.
  • Be cautious when using

    should carefully ask a history of hypersensitivity reactions to penicillin, cephalosporin or other allergens before starting treatment with augmentin.

    There have been severe hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylaxis) and sometimes fatal in patients treated with penicillin. These reactions are more common in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to penicillin. If the allergic reaction occurs, augmentin should be stopped and replaced with appropriate treatment. The serious anaphylactic reaction should be immediately rescued with Adrenalin. Oxygen, intravenous steroids and airways, including intubation may also be necessary.

    Avoid using augmentin if suspected of mononucleemocal hypernage due to the appearance of measles rash related to this condition after using amoxicillin.

    For prolonged use can sometimes cause an increase in non -sensitive bacteria. Fake colitis has been reported when using antibiotics and with mild to life -threatening severity. Therefore, this diagnostic consideration is very important in patients with diarrhea during or after antibiotics. If diarrhea or prolonged or patients with abdominal cramps, should stop treatment immediately and check the patient more.

    Overall, Augmentin tolerates well and has a characteristic low toxicity of penicillin group antibiotics. It is recommended to regularly check the function of the organs, including the liver, kidneys and hematopoietic function when prolonged treatment.

    Rarely have abnormal prolonged reporting of prothrombin time (Inr) in patients using augmentin and oral anticoagulants. Should follow appropriately when anticoagulants are prescribed simultaneously. The dose of anticoagulant drugs may be needed to maintain the desired anticoagulant level.

    Should be cautious when using augmentin in patients with signs of liver function decline.

    In patients with renal impairment, the dose should be adjusted according to the degree of renal failure (see dosage and usage - renal failure).

    Observed the urinary crystal in patients who reduce urine secretion but very rare, mainly when patients use infusion. It is recommended that patients drink enough water to maintain the amount of urine excreted during the time of using high -dose amoxicillin to reduce the possibility of the occurrence of amoxicillin crystals (see overdose).

    Augmentin 500mg pack, containing aspartame, is a source of phenylalanine and thus should be used carefully in patients with phenylceton.

    The ability to drive and operate machinery

    has not conducted research on influence on driving or operating machinery. However, unwanted effects may occur (such as allergic reactions, dizziness), affecting the ability to drive and operate machinery (see unwanted effects).

    Pregnancy

    Studies on fertility on animals (rats and rats with a dose of up to 10 times higher doses for human) when using oral Augmentin and infusion does not show the effect of monitoring. In a single study in premature women due to early rupture of amniotic fluid (PPROM), a report on prophylaxis with Augmentin may be associated with an increase in the risk of necrotizing bowelectitis in infants. Like all other medications, avoiding medications during pregnancy, unless the doctor thinks it is necessary.

    Breastfeeding period

    can use Augmentin 500mg during breastfeeding. Except for the risk of sensitivity, related to the drug is excreted a very small amount of breast milk, not knowing which adverse effects for breastfeeding babies.

    Drug interaction

    No recommendations to simultaneously use with Probenecid. Probenecid reduces amoxicillin secretion through the renal tubules. Simultaneous use with augmentin can cause increased and prolonged the concentration of amoxicillin in the blood but does not affect clavulanic acid.

    Concomitant use of allopurinol during treatment with amoxicillin may cause an increase in the likelihood of allergic reactions on the skin. There is no data on using augmentin combination with allopurinol.

    Like other antibiotics, Augmentin 500mg can affect the intestinal bacteria that leads to reducing the reabsorption of estrogen and reducing the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.

    In the literature, rarely Inr (International Normalise Ratio) cases in patients undergoing treatment with acenocoumarol or warfarin and are prescribed an amoxicillin batch. If necessary to prescribe simultaneously, carefully monitor prothrombin or INR time when using or stop using amoxicillin.

    In patients who are taking Mycophenolate Mofetil, there has been a report on the decrease in the concentration of metabolites with mycophenolic acid activity (MPA) in the previous dose of about 50% after starting oral amoxicillin combined with clavulanic acid. The previous change change may not exactly show changes in the overall MPa exposure level.

    penicillins may reduce methotrexate excretion leading to increased toxicity.

    Storage

    Store Augmentin 500mg in closed packaging, in a dry place, less than 30 ° C.
