AMPOXIN CV 625MG TABLET 10S

Product Introduction:

Ampoxin CV 625mg Tablet is a combination medication that contains Amoxicillin (500mg) and Clavulanic Acid (125mg). It belongs to the class of antibiotics known as penicillinase inhibitors. This combination is formulated to enhance the effectiveness of Amoxicillin by inhibiting bacterial resistance mechanisms mediated by beta-lactamase enzymes. Ampoxin CV 625mg Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms.

Ampoxin CV 625mg Tablet is best taken with a meal to reduce the chance of a stomach upset. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. Taking it at the same time daily will help you remember to take it. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but you should always complete an entire course of this antibiotic as your doctor prescribes. Please do not stop taking it until you have finished, even when you feel better. If you stop taking it early, some bacteria may survive, and the infection may return or worsen.

The most common side effects of Ampoxin CV 625mg Tablet include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. These are usually mild, but let your doctor know if they bother you or will not go away.

Before taking it, let your doctor know if you are allergic to any antibiotics or have kidney or liver problems. You should also inform your healthcare team about all other medicines you are taking as they may affect or be affected by Ampoxin CV 625mg Tablet. This medicine is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding if prescribed by a doctor.

Benefits:

1. Enhanced Antibacterial Activity: Clavulanic Acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, enhances the activity of Amoxicillin by protecting it from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes produced by some bacteria. This allows Amoxicillin to effectively kill a broader range of bacteria.
2. Broad-Spectrum Coverage: The combination provides coverage against a wide range of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.
3. Treatment of Resistant Infections: Ampoxin CV 625mg Tablet is effective against bacterial strains that may be resistant to Amoxicillin alone due to beta-lactamase production.
4. Convenient Dosage Form: The tablet formulation allows for easy and accurate dosing, enhancing patient compliance.

Side Effects:

While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

1. Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain may occur.
2. Allergic Reactions: Some people may develop allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or, rarely, severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis.
3. Superinfection: Prolonged use may lead to the growth of resistant bacteria or yeast infections.

Usage Guidelines:

1. Dosage: The dosage is determined based on the severity of the infection, the patient’s age, weight, and renal function. Follow the prescribed dosage regimen.
2. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet unless instructed otherwise by a healthcare professional.
3. Timing: Take the medication at evenly spaced intervals to maintain a constant level of the drug in the body.
4. Duration: Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication, unless instructed otherwise by a healthcare professional.

Drug Interactions:

1. Probenecid: Concurrent use may increase the levels of Amoxicillin in the blood by reducing its excretion.
2. Oral Contraceptives: Antibiotics like Amoxicillin may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, necessitating additional contraceptive methods during treatment.
3. Warfarin: Concurrent use may increase the anticoagulant effect of Warfarin, requiring close monitoring of coagulation parameters.

It’s essential to inform the prescribing healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, or herbal products being taken to avoid potential drug interactions.

Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding the use of Ampoxin CV 625mg Tablet, especially in special populations like pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, or individuals with pre-existing medical conditions.
