Augmed 375 mg Tablet

Augmed 375 mg Tablet is an oral antibiotic that contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in each tablet. It belongs to the penicillin-class antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Augmed 375 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections of the ear, sinuses, throat, chest, urinary tract, skin, or teeth when the bacteria are likely to respond to this combination.

How it works: Amoxicillin kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the building of their cell walls, which helps stop the infection from spreading. Clavulanic acid protects amoxicillin from certain bacterial enzymes, and the tablet form lets both ingredients be absorbed after you swallow it.

Augmed 375 mg Tablet is a lower tablet strength than Augmed 625 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a smaller amoxicillin/clavulanate dose or a stepwise dosing plan. This tablet is still a prescription-strength antibiotic, and it is meant for people whose infection and overall health have been assessed by a clinician. It should not be swapped with Augmed 625 mg Tablet unless your prescriber specifically directs the change.

• Ear infections
• Sinus infections
• Throat and tonsil infections
• Chest infections such as bronchitis
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Swallow Augmed 375 mg Tablet with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is okay.
• Take it at evenly spaced times exactly as prescribed to keep a steady amount of medicine in your body.
• Taking the tablet with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better, unless your prescriber tells you to stop.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Use the tablet only for the infection it was prescribed for, not for future illnesses.

Each Augmed 375 mg Tablet provides a total of 375 mg of amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid. The exact schedule varies by infection and patient factors, but it is commonly taken more than once daily, and the maximum number of tablets per day depends on the prescription and the amount of clavulanic acid your doctor wants you to receive. Your doctor decides the dose and duration based on the infection, your age, kidney function, and how severe the infection is.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
